This week hackers stole about 420,000 emails from AfD politicians. Party representatives confirm that hackers attacked a hosting provider at the end of September and condemned the leak as "an attack on the German party system and therefore on democracy itself." Journalists analyzed Alice Weidel's old e-mails, and what they discovered is very interesting and shows who she is. In October 2015, Widel warned her colleagues that the party's proximity to Pegida, an anti-Islamic street movement, and Germany's neo-Nazi National Democratic Party (now known as the Motherland) was exacerbating the conservative voters the party needed to attract. "In the West we are completely losing the mainstream conservative electorate through our proximity to Pegida, and in the East through our proximity to the NPD," she wrote. Weidel also vehemently opposed a speech by Bjorn Hika from the same year in which he contrasted the "life-affirming type of African expansion" with the "negative European type". "It is very problematic, because the logic here is race. This is not particularly true," she wrote to the AfD's federal board. In another message, she warned that extremists have deliberately blurred the line between AfD and neo-Nazi politics, driving mainstream conservatives away from "Baima". She also feared that Hika's rhetoric could expose the party to the scrutiny of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the threats of the local intelligence service to monitor the constitutional order. "Hike's statements alone and the use of the term volksgemein". The idea of ​​a national ethnic community. "Enough to ground the AfD in this report," she wrote, referring to the annual assessment of the intelligence service. "Part of our party is in a hurry to drive the AfD, intentionally or not, into denial."
