>Farewell to the mob party? Some within the AfD are considering following Meloni's example.
>So far, the party has marched ever further to the right, but now there are tentative signs that the AfD might moderate its stance. The Italian Prime Minister could serve as a role model.
>One person who speaks like this is Maximilian Krah. In June, he was a guest on the video podcast of Götz Kubitschek, a right-wing extremist publisher and activist. Krah explained to his visibly astonished host why he rejects the concept of ethnicity and the deportation of migrants.
>There are at least tentative signs that the AfD as a whole could do something similar: In the short term, the party's priority must be to avert a ban; in the longer term, the more intellectually agile AfD members are likely to think about how their party could become capable of governing. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni could serve as a role model in this regard: While the AfD has so far marched further and further to the right, Meloni's post-fascist party has moved more and more toward the center.
>The so-called position paper adopted by the party's parliamentary group in the Bundestag last weekend suggests that the AfD could take a similar path: Contrary to original plans, the term "remigration" is omitted. And in North Rhine-Westphalia, the state branch there decided to expel MP Matthias Helferich, who once described himself as the "friendly face of National Socialism."
>This could lead to the far-right East German sections losing influence in the future. Krah, who himself comes from the East, also seems to anticipate this: "How do you expect to win constituencies in the Ruhr region if you don't have the Turkish votes?" he explained to Kubitschek, justifying his rejection of a racist concept of "people."
