Dynamo Dresden in criticism: Photo with AfD politician causes excitement!

A current photo of club officials from the Dynamo Dresden football club and a member of the AfD causes plenty of discussions and unrest in the sports and political landscape. On the snapshot, Peter Krüger, Vice President of Dynamo Dresden, Thomas Blümel, member of the Supervisory Board, and Jens Genschmar, traditional representative of the association, together with Thomas Ladzinski, AfD direct candidate in the Bundestag, can be seen. The picture was published by Holger Zastrow and is said to have been taken in May on the occasion of Blümel's 60th birthday. But why is the ceremonial meeting with a representative of a currently controversial political party? Kicker looks at a variety of questions that arise here.

One of the central questions is whether the club representatives are not afraid of contact with the AfD and whether this public image contradicts the mission statement and the Fancharta of Dynamo Dresden, which positions itself against racism and discrimination. So far, however, the association has not commented on the concerns raised and thus leaves space for speculations and inquiries from fans and the public. The controversial political attitude of the state parliament of Hamburg, which has been discussed in the media for some time, is also the focus.

right -wing extremist classification of the AfD Saxony

The AfD in Saxony is currently struggling with a legal dispute, since it was classified as "secured right -wing extremist". This classification goes back to a judgment of the Higher Administrative Court of January 21, 2025, which says that after a four -year examination by the Saxon State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LFV), there is no longer any doubt about the extremist orientation of the party. Party leader Jörg Urban described the classification as defamation and a political move against the AfD and is legally against the evaluation. [Tagesspiegel] (https://www.tagesspiegel.de/ggerichert-rechtsextremist-fd-in-sachsen- Geht-against-entry-by-constitutional protection-vor-10969198.html) reports that Urban also denounces the personal responsibility of the Saxon Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU).

In addition to the current main procedure, the party has also requested an interim order in order to obtain access to the opinion of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The authority had previously made similar classifications in other federal states, such as in Thuringia and Saxony-Anhalt, and intelligence agents can also be used against the AfD for Saxony. The assessments of the LFV underpin the assessment that the AfD does not question the freedom-democratic basic order, but there is skepticism in the general public.

The political landscape in Saxony

These political developments draw wide circles and shed light on the relationship between the population, football and the current political situation. The public discussion about the photo and the political orientation of the AfD in Saxony is another expression of the uncertainties that can be felt in many German cities and clubs. The Saxon State Association continues to work with right -wing extremists and anti -constitutional organizations, which is evident in the statements and attitudes of some members who question human dignity and belonging to people with a migration background.

The clash of the club officials and the AfD representative could be seen as a sign of alienation from the classic football values, which are held up in many fan communities. The discussion remains exciting, and the question is how Dynamo Dresden reacts to the allegations and whether a debate about the values and beliefs develops within the club.
