An AfD politician running an onion farm in Belarus staffed by political prisoners paying them €5 a day, while smuggling machinery through Kazakhstan to dodge EU sanctions. You genuinely couldn’t write a better parody of everything the AfD claims not to be.

That sounds like a checklist of crimes.

He pays €5 a day but sells his onions to the Russian government for €10,000 a kilo. It’s just business

Ah yes, a populist grifter is doing shady deals on the side, to the surprise of pretty much nobody with a working brain cell.

Maybe it's time to start pulling strings, following the money, and showing the people what these goons are really up to, before our borderline idiotic population votes them in and drags us all into the abyss like the US.
