Austrian politician Gerhard Dingler, a former FPÖ official, has donated over €2.35 million to Germany's far-right AfD party.
The donation, made in the form of 6,400 campaign posters, is part of Dingler's effort to support the AfD in the upcoming Bundestag elections.
The posters, prominently displayed across Germany, criticize mainstream parties on issues like migration and energy while promoting the AfD as a "civil alternative.
" Dingler, who remains a member of the FPÖ, cited concerns over the Ukraine war as his motivation, claiming the AfD is the only party advocating for peace.
This donation marks the largest in the AfD's history, raising questions about foreign influence in German politics.
