Tensions escalate within the Thuringian AfD as demands for Björn Höcke's exclusion and resignation intensify due to support for alternative party lists and expulsion plans. Additionally, a separate incident involves the confirmation of Nicolaus Fest's party exclusion, based on internal communications.

Amidst these conflicts, Finance Minister Christian Lindner rejects a ban on the AfD, advocating for democratic engagement instead. The party also faces physical attacks, exemplified by an assault on an AfD politician in Schwerin, highlighting growing political tensions ahead of the European elections.
