Luna Möbius, a social media consultant working for the Green Party, has drawn attention after praising the TikTok videos of an Alternative for Germany (AfD) politician. Möbius was observed at a recent East German congress of her party on the island of Rügen for her remarks about Ulrich Siegmund.

Siegmund, who is the leading candidate for the AfD in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, had previously commented on a TikTok video of Möbius's speech at the Christopher Street Day event in Wittenberg. He wrote that Möbius would be the best advertisement for the AfD.

The interview took place at Konnopke, a well-known currywurst stand in Berlin, a location often associated with the city's vibrant street food culture. Möbius's public role and her comments have sparked discussion within political circles, particularly given the Green Party's stance and the AfD's positioning.

You would be the best advertisement for the AfD.
