The AfD (Alternative for Germany) is a right-wing populist party in Germany and is also represented in the Berlin House of Representatives, where it sits as in opposition.
Key figures of the Berlin AfD include Kristin Brinker and Thorsten Weiß. Kristin Brinker serves as both state and parliamentary group leader and is the lead candidate for the 2026 election in Berlin. Thorsten Weiß, as deputy parliamentary group leader, is particularly associated with the issue of internal security.
Politically, the party is clearly positioned on the right and focuses on topics such as migration, internal security, and criticism of the government. At the same time, it is highly controversial, and other parties in Berlin reject cooperation with it. As a result, its direct influence on political decision-making remains limited.
