AfD parliamentary group in Saxony-Anhalt visits Austria

According to a press release, on 22 September 2026 a six-member delegation from the AfD parliamentary group in Saxony-Anhalt travelled to Vienna (Austria) “to prepare intensively for its forthcoming role in government through direct dialogue with the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) and its federal party leader, Herbert Kickl”, as the delegation itself states.

Taking part were the AfD members of the state parliament Oliver Kirchner, Ulrich Siegmund, Tobias Rausch, Dr Hans-Thomas Tillschneider, Gordon Köhler and Matthias Büttner.

Although the FPÖ and the AfD belong to different EU political groups, there is a strong connection between them. This meeting focused on the experiences of the FPÖ, which is or has been part of several provincial governments in Austria.
