AfD top candidate for the European Parliament Joerg Meuthen holds a speech during the start of the election campaign in Offenburg, Germany, Saturday, April 6, 2019. A series of potential scandals is plaguing the far-right Alternative for Germany party ahead of next month’s European Parliament elections. Meuthen himself has come under scrutiny over free election ads he and others in the party received from a Swiss-based PR agency. Frohnmaier told ZDF that he couldn’t imagine who might have written about him in that way. Since his election, Frohnmaier has vocally supported Moscow’s position on Crimea, which Russia seized in 2014 in a move that Ukraine and most of the world views as illegal.
