Politicus and leider van het AfD in Thuringia, Duitsland
Politician and leader of the AfD in Thuringia, Germany
Höcke blends anti-elite rhetoric, emotional nationalism, hardline anti-immigration policies, and attacks on democratic institutions, and frames them as restoring the will of the “real” people. He rallies supporters by portraying himself as the only leader willing to challenge an entrenched, corrupt establishment and defend national identity.
