Never Again: Seven AfD Polticians Have Died In Past Two Weeks

 It's no secret that the German deep state hates the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) political party. And the other German political parties, government bodies, and courts have worked overtime to throw up one roadblock after another to keep the AfD from winning elections and obtaining any real political power. Thus it is suspicious that "[f]ive direct AfD candidates and two reserve candidates in North Rhine-Westphalia died within 14 days of each other[.]"

Wolfgang Seitz’s death at 59 was announced on Aug. 21; the city of Blomberg announced the “unfortunate death” of 66-year-old Ralph Lange on Aug. 27; the city of Bad Lippspringe said 59-year-old Stefan Berendes “died unexpectedly” on Aug. 28; and the city of Schwerte announced that Wolfgang Klinger, 71, died “unexpectedly” on Aug. 19, according to Newsweek. Kay Gottschalk, deputy state chairman of the AfD’s North Rhine-Westphalia branch, confirmed the deaths of direct candidate Hans-Joachim Kind, 80, and reserve candidates René Herford and Patrick Tietze to Politico on Tuesday.   

 The article also relates, "Police told DPA news agency that the first six deaths were either from natural causes or the cause wasn’t being divulged to preserve family privacy." 

    The deaths come as the AfD sees a surge in the polls, with North Rhine-Westphalia representing one of its fastest-growing areas in western Germany. The 18-million-person state has seen the AfD grow from a measly 5.4% in May 2022 polls, the time of the last state elections, to a hefty 16.8% in the February elections, the BBC reported.

    Shortly after the February elections, which gave the AfD its best results yet, the AfD began polling as the most popular party in Germany. It came second in the February federal elections with 20.8% of the vote, taking 152 seats in the 630-seat Bundestag.

    Its growing popularity comes as every mainstream party rules out joining it in a government coalition. Every party to the left of the AfD has decried it as an extremist group and a threat to democracy.

After just four deaths, "German economist Stefan Homburg called the coincidence ‘statistically almost impossible’ in a post on X." What about after 7 deaths?
