German Politician Remains in Election Race Despite Huawei Funding Allegations
Far-right MEP Maximilian Krah Defies Calls to Withdraw
Despite a probe into the funding of his hotel accommodations and meals, German lawmaker Maximilian Krah has stated he will not stand down from the European election race.
Krah, a member of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, is facing scrutiny following a YouTube interview in which he acknowledged receiving financial assistance from Chinese tech giant Huawei. The revelation has raised concerns about the potential influence of foreign interests on German politics.
Previously, Krah had made headlines for his pro-China stance, prompting the German authorities to launch an investigation into his office in Brussels. Despite the ongoing inquiry, Krah remains adamant about staying in the electoral contest, maintaining his position as a leading candidate for the AfD in the upcoming June vote.
