AfD nominates Jürgen Braun as Budget Committee member
Berlin: The AfD group in the German Bundestag has nominated Jürgen Braun as a member of the Budget Committee. This was announced by the group on Tuesday in Berlin.
Braun is a member of the Bundestag for the AfD since 2017. He is also a member of the Committee on Economic Affairs and Energy.
The Budget Committee is responsible for the federal budget and the financial planning of the federal government. It also deals with tax legislation and the control of federal finances.
The AfD’s nomination of Braun was met with criticism from other parties. The SPD parliamentary group accused the AfD of “playing with fire” by nominating a “right-wing extremist” for the Budget Committee. The Green parliamentary group called Braun’s nomination “irresponsible”.
The FDP parliamentary group also criticized the AfD’s nomination. FDP parliamentary group leader Christian Lindner said that Braun’s nomination was “a slap in the face to all taxpayers”.
The Left parliamentary group has not yet commented on the nomination.
The Budget Committee is elected by the Bundestag. The election is scheduled to take place on December 13, 2024.
