Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

A leak of more than 400,000 internal AfD emails has exposed the party's behind-the-scenes workings, revealing that Bundestag member Markus Frohnmaier gathered sensitive information for the Syrian Assad regime. The same documents show that current party leader Alice Weidel fought forcefully against sexist campaign posters in internal debates—and failed decisively. The disclosures matter because they shed light on the internal power dynamics and contradictions of a party now leading in some polls. Watch for how the AfD leadership responds to the Frohnmaier revelations and whether the Weidel episode resurfaces in future campaigns.
