The CSU's new coalition partner in Bavaria is said to have made campaign appearances together with Beatrix von Storch. Is that correct?

The coalition agreement between the CSU and the Free Voters was concluded. Now a photo has emerged that shows Free Voters leader Hubert Aiwanger together with AfD woman Beatrix von Storch. Did the AfD make joint appearances with the Free Voters?

Fact check:

The photos are REAL.

BUT: The pictures were taken in 2012, a year before the AfD was even founded. Beatrix von Storch was not in the AfD at the time.

Background:

the Free Voters were primarily known as “Euro critics” protested against the European Stability Mechanism ESM together with Hans-Olaf Henkel (2014-2015 AfD They were accused of right-wing populism. Beatrix von Storch (“Free World”), who was known at the time as a “right-wing populist blogger” and the “Civil Coalition e. V” protested against the ESM.

On June 2, 2012, they held a rally together in Munich, which was also attended by the Free Voters leader Aiwanger. The NPD also called for participation in the rally. To what extent can the politics of the Free Voters be compared to that of the AfD today? A little look at the current politics of the Free Voters:

Selected positions of the Free Voters: 

The Free Voters are calling for limits on family reunification for asylum seekers and would like to create return assistance. However, anchor centers reject them. They called for more benefits in kind rather than cash and spoke out in favor of cutting benefits for refugees who “do not integrate”.

In addition, they are calling for referendums at the federal level, direct elections for the minister presidents and the federal president, as well as strengthening and modernizing the police. The influence of lobby groups should also be curbed. ( Source )
