- On Tuesday, Tobias Rausch was elected as the AfD's first state parliament president nationwide.
- Rausch intends to remain the AfD's secretary-general in Saxony-Anhalt while holding the state parliament presidency.
- Klöckner criticized this as inappropriate, citing parliamentary rules and the office's neutrality.
- Norbert Lammert also voiced concern and questioned whether both offices could be reconciled.
