Multiple sources familiar with the matter confirmed that the parliamentary group’s works council unanimously rejected Nastic’s employment at the beginning of this month. The council cited concerns that her hiring would threaten workplace harmony. The position under consideration was reportedly that of policy advisor.<\/p>\n
Nastic<\/strong>, who has since left the BSW party, had previously launched fierce attacks against the AfD, once calling it the party of knife attackers and unleashed violence<\/em>. This history generated significant discontent among AfD parliamentarians when news of the potential hiring emerged.<\/p>\n “Thank God nothing came of it,” one member of parliament told the outlet. Another expressed bewilderment at the faction leader’s judgment, questioning what could have prompted Chrupalla to even consider such an appointment. Several other representatives voiced criticism privately.<\/p>\n When contacted by telephone, Chrupalla<\/strong> refused to comment on the personnel matter.<\/p>\n Nastic departed the BSW in late March of this year. As a founding member of Sahra Wagenknecht’s party, holding membership number eleven, she had served on the executive board of the organization established just over two years ago. Her tenure ended with a scathing denunciation of her former colleagues.<\/p>\n She accused them of servility and blind obedience, claiming that power-hungry followers had formed a court around BSW federal chairwoman Amira Mohamed Ali<\/strong>. At the time, Nastic rejected speculation circulating within the BSW that she intended to join the AfD, though she did praise Chrupalla.<\/p>\n The Hamburg politician has repeatedly unleashed sharp criticism against the party led by Tino Chrupalla<\/strong> and Alice Weidel<\/strong>. In February 2020, she accused the AfD on social media of being the party of knife attackers and unleashed violence. That same month, Nastic connected the Hanau attack to the AfD, posting images from a demonstration against right-wing terror with the caption demanding no foothold for Nazis, fascism, or the AfD.<\/p>\n In September 2020, she warned of a danger from the right emanating from the AfD that was being downplayed. A year earlier, she had described the AfD as unbearable. During that period, she also expressed solidarity with the Fridays for Future movement, suggesting they must be doing something right if the AfD was attacking the student movement with lies and slander.<\/p>\n During the traffic light coalition government in 2022, Nastic called the AfD the most disgusting party in parliament, citing an earlier statement by Wagenknecht. She accused the Greens of providing fertile ground for AfD supporters through their disastrous governing policies that were driving millions in Germany to ruin. In February of last year, she posted a video demanding a halt to warmongering and the madness of arming against Russia from the AfD to the Greens.<\/p>\n The failed hiring attempt highlights internal tensions within the AfD faction over personnel decisions and ideological consistency. Nastic’s well-documented hostility toward the party made her potential appointment particularly controversial among rank-and-file members.<\/p>\nChrupalla Declines Comment<\/h2>\n
