Jörg Meuthen

Jörg Meuthen, born on June twenty-ninth, nineteen sixty-one, is a prominent German economist, academic, and politician. He served as a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Germany from two thousand seventeen until two thousand twenty-four, showcasing his commitment to European politics.

Meuthen was the frontrunner for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party during the two thousand sixteen Baden-Württemberg state election. His political journey continued as he became a Member of Parliament and parliamentary leader in March two thousand sixteen, further solidifying his influence within the party.

In two thousand nineteen, he was the leading candidate for the AfD in the European Parliament election. His leadership extended to serving as the federal spokesman and leader of the AfD from July two thousand fifteen until his resignation in January two thousand twenty-two, a decision driven by conflicts with right-wing extremist factions within the party.

After his tenure with the AfD, Meuthen transitioned to the German Centre Party from June two thousand twenty-two to September two thousand twenty-three. He then continued his political career as an independent MEP for the remainder of his term. As of September two thousand twenty-four, he has joined the Values Union, marking a new chapter in his political journey.
