Bernd Baumann (German pronunciation: [ˈbɛɐ̯nt ˈbaʊman]; born 31 January 1958) is a German politician of the far-right party, Alternative for Germany (AfD) and chief whip of the AfD Group who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Hamburg since 2017.[1]
Life and politics
Baumann was born 1958 in the West German city Herne and studied economics at the Ruhr University Bochum and achieved his PhD in 1991.[citation needed]
Baumann eventuated the newly founded populist AfD in 2013 and was presider (Landessprecher) of the party in the city state of Hamburg from 2015 to 2017.[2]
In 2017 Baumann became the first chief whip (Erster Parlamentarischer Geschäftsführer) of the AfD in the Bundestag.[3][4]
Positions
Bernd Baumann states there is an “opprobrious campaign” against his party by the largely tax-funded nonprofit journalism organisation “Correctiv” against a private function of right-wing politicians and business people in November 2023 in which AfD and CDU politicians as well as Martin Sellner (BI) took part. Baumann blamed a “left-green class” of politicians and “large parts of the media” in the ARD magazin Report from Berlin.[5]
