Guido Reil Steps Down from European Parliament

AfD Politician to Leave in 2024

Essen - Guido Reil, a prominent member of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has announced his decision to step down from the European Parliament in mid-2024.

Coal Miner Turned Politician

Reil, a coal miner like his father and grandfather, has been a fixture in German politics for many years. He was first elected to the European Parliament in 2014 and has since become known for his outspoken views on immigration and the European Union.

Reasons for Departure

In an interview with Alexander Kähler, Reil did not provide specific reasons for his departure. However, he has previously expressed frustration with the current direction of the AfD and the lack of progress on key issues.

Reil's departure is a significant blow to the AfD, which has been struggling in recent years to maintain its popularity. The party has been embroiled in internal scandals and has seen its support dwindle in the polls.
