CSU warns AfD lawmakers could leak sensitive intel at Munich Security Conference

Concerns over security risks have surfaced at the Munich Security Conference. CSU Secretary-General Martin Huber warned that AfD lawmakers might leak sensitive information. He also dismissed the party’s foreign policy efforts as ineffective and opportunistic. Huber spoke out against the far-right AfD during the high-profile event. He claimed their parliamentary questions could serve outside interests rather than national security. His remarks targeted the party’s foreign policy spokesman, Markus Frohnmaier.

Though Frohnmaier was not officially invited, Huber noted his presence in Munich. The AfD representative reportedly sought meetings with attendees on the sidelines. Huber later labelled the party’s delegation as 'wannabes with nothing to offer'.

The CSU official’s comments highlight tensions around AfD’s role in security discussions. His warning about potential leaks adds to scrutiny over the party’s access to classified matters. Frohnmaier’s attempts to engage at the conference remain unofficial.
