What's the deal with the leaked email that has recently been available to read on Twitter and Facebook?

The essence of the content is that the Rhineland-Palatinate regional association of the AfD is providing 1,500 euros for the first 30 participants (i.e. 50 euros each) who can prove that they took part in the demonstration in Berlin on May 27, 2018.

This email was published on May 22, 2018 on the “ exif-Recherche ” website; the exact wording can also be read there. This content or an evaluation of the email is not the central element of our article and therefore has no relevance here.

What can be clarified at this point: The email is not a fake!

Inquired!

The answer is as simple as we got it. The email is real. A short query to the press office of the AfD Rhineland-Palatinate resulted in a clear answer:

Dear Mr. Wolf,

It is true that the state board of the AfD Rhineland-Palatinate decided at its last board meeting to encourage participation in the demonstration in Berlin by providing a travel subsidy of €50 per person for the first thirty interested parties from our membership. Due to the long journey and the distribution of interested parties across the entire country, it would have been difficult to travel with a bus rented by the party. Nevertheless, the state executive committee wanted to enable financially disadvantaged members to take part in the demonstration.

In our opinion, a comparison between subsidized travel to a party event - be it by bus or a travel allowance - and paid demonstrators is impossible.

Kind regards,
Robin Classen
, press spokesman for the state executive board

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the quick and friendly response.
