CAVEAT: On a surface reading, the language echoes that of Covid vaccine deaths. Curiously, nobody mentions this unless it’s deep within Twitter.
One X (Twitter) user claims that a total of six (6) in fact have recently died, and even claims to know what they died of (we reserve doubt here). Grok confirms this number so we took a slight liberty with our title –
There is some suspicion running around on Twitter of this type (scroll down) —
Statistically almost impossible’ – 4 AfD candidates have died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ before key state election.
Election officials are racing to print new ballots after the “sudden and unexpected” death of 4 AfD candidates right before North Rhine-Westphalia votes
REMIX NEWS
Four Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidates died “suddenly and unexpectedly” in Germany’s largest state, North Rhine-Westphalia, right before state elections. Anger and theories are running rife on social media about the sudden deaths of the AfD candidates.
“According to WDR, four AfD candidates who were not excluded have died immediately before the NRW municipal election: Blomberg, Rheinberg, Schwerte, Bad Lippspringe. Statistically almost impossible,” wrote Stefan Homburg in a post that received 1 million views.
In another post from Peter Borbe, he writes: “4 AfD candidates died within 2 weeks during the NRW local elections: Wolfgang Seitz (Rheinberg), Ralph Lange (Blomberg), Stefan Berendes (Bad Lippspringe), Wolfgang Klinger (Schwerte), all 4 died suddenly and unexpectedly. An astonishing accumulation of deaths, isn’t it?”
Despite concerns expressed on social media, not much is known about the circumstances of the deaths of the four candidates other than they died “unexpectedly,” which means none of them died from a long battle with cancer, for example.
As of yet, nobody has provided any evidence that the AfD candidates died from anything other than natural causes. In addition, there does not appear to have been any police investigations launched into the deaths of any four of the individuals.
However, in Germany’s polarized political environment, there is no surprise that AfD supporters are worried about the safety of their candidates.
The AfD party is, after all, the most attacked party in the country, including assaults and other forms of violence, according to official government statistics.
Local elections are set for Sept. 14, but the Welt newspaper reports that the latest death was from Ralph Lange, the AfD’s direct candidate for the Blomberg council, who “died unexpectedly,” according to WDR and the Lippische Landeszeitung, among other media outlets. A number of reports claim he was either 66 or 67 years old.
Other candidates were Wolfgang Seitz from Rheinberg, reportedly 59 years old, along with Wolfgang Klinger of Schwerte, reportedly 71 or 72 years old. Finally, Stefan Berendes of Bad Lippsringe passed away, at 59 years old.
Authorities are under pressure to print new ballots, and with elections quickly approaching, there are serious time constraints. In some of the affected districts, new ballots have already been sent out.
Some voters had already sent in mail-in ballots. These ballots will no longer be valid and they must vote again.
Welt writes, citing WDR, that “an AfD candidate (Wolfgang Klinger) in Schwerte (North Rhine-Westphalia, Arnsberg administrative district) and the 59-year-old AfD candidate Wolfgang Seitz in Rheinberg (North Rhine-Westphalia, Wesel district) also died ‘suddenly and unexpectedly’ almost two weeks ago.”
