Apollo News reported that Suraj Mailitafi had been nominated for the state-funded German Engagement Prize despite his role as a spokesperson for opposition during the partially violent protests against the AfD party convention in Erfurt. After an inquiry from the media, he has now faced the threat of exclusion from the competition. https://t.co/OpMJSRwlqB #Protest #AfD #Engagementpreis (translated)
Max Mannhart wrote that Suraj Mailitafi, spokesman for "Widersetzen," has been nominated for the German Engagement Prize 2026. The prize is under the patronage of the Federal Chancellery and is predominantly funded by taxpayer money. According to Mannhart, there was a brutal attack on a reporting team from Apollo News during a demonstration by Mailitafi. Mannhart stated that Mailitafi expressed solidarity with the attackers and told Stern that he would not distance himself from them because those who allowed themselves to be provoked were also part of the anti-fascist movement. Mannhart viewed the case as further evidence that there is no clear separation between taxpayer money and the left-wing extremist scene. https://t.co/kRKIYmc196 #EngagementPreis #Politik #Antifaschismus (translated)
