TOPSHOT - A demonstrator wearing a mask of German far-right politician Maximilian Krah of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party holds a Chinese and a Russian flag and has a sign fixed on his chest reading "Alternative for Dictators" as he stands in front of the Donauhallen Donaueschingen, venue of an AfD meeting in preparation of the June 2024 European Elections, on April 27, 2024 in Donaueschingen, southern Germany. Maximilian Krah, who is the AfD's top candidate for June's EU elections, is at the centre of a deepening crisis after one of his aides in the European Parliament was arrested on suspicion of spying for China. German prosecutors have also launched a preliminary investigation against Krah himself over reports of suspicious payments received from China and Russia.
