Bernd Baumann (born 31 January 1958) is a German politician of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and chief whip of the AfD Group who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Hamburg since 2017.[1]
Baumann eventuated the newly founded populist AfD in 2013 and was presider (Landessprecher) of the party in the city state of Hamburg from 2015 to 2017.[2]
In 2017 Baumann became the first chief whip (Erster Parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer) of the AfD in the Bundestag.[3][4]
Positions
Bernd Baumann suspects an “infamous campaign” against his party by the “Correctiv” investigation into a conspiratorial meeting of right-wing radicals in November 2023 in which AfD and CDU politicians as well as Martin Sellner (BI) took part. This is the responsibility of a “left-green class” of politicians and “large parts of the media,” he said in the ARD magazin Report from Berlin.[5]
