In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, AfD, according to a report, decided to cooperate with Pegida Alliance. This was decided by Landtag group at an event entitled "Civic Dialogue" on Friday evening in Schwerin, reports NDR.

The deputy Group chairman of AfD, Christoph Grimm, and Pegida leader Lutz Bachmann, however, did not share what cooperation should look like. AfD and Pegida would have same goals, namely "fight against Islamization of Germany," said Grimm. An approximation is refore overdue.

In May 2016, federal Board of AfD had agreed on an incompatibility decision. It states: "The Federal Executive Board decides that AfD members should not appear as speakers or with party symbols at Pegida events. We reject speech performances by Pegida-Representatives and Pegida-symbols at AfD-Events. " At that time, Frauke Petry was still a party leader. In furr decisions, incompatibility with all regional offshoots of Pegida such as Thügida and Legida, with association founded in February 2017 "Freedom Patriotic Alternative" (FPA) and with Identitarian movement was established.

Pegida founder Lutz Bachmann said, since Pegida representatives would not be mentioned in person in decision, he believes that re is nothing in way of cooperation in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Bachmann and or representatives of xenophobic Pegida movement were invited by AfD in Schwerin.

The party is currently increasingly questioning incompatibility decision, especially by representatives of national associations in east, who are currently forging a new, radical axis. Lutz Bachmann is currently travelling through Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Saxony, Brandenburg and Berlin in order to give this concern an urgent urgency.

From tomorrow onwards we will tour Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Berlin and Brandenburg...... for proper transport is ensured!
