CSU Leader Advocates Continued Exclusion of AfD from Munich Security ConferenceSun 28th Dec, 2025The debate over the participation of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the Munich Security Conference has intensified, as a prominent member of the Christian Social Union (CSU) has called for the party's continued exclusion in the upcoming 2026 event. According to Hoffmann, these relationships could result in sensitive information being shared, potentially compromising conference security and international trust among participants. The Munich Security Conference, regarded as a leading global forum for high-level discussions on international security policy, is scheduled to take place from February 13 to 15, 2026. The current leadership of the Munich Security Conference is transitioning, with former NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg serving as chair while maintaining his governmental role in Norway. As the Munich Security Conference approaches, the debate over political participation, security, and democratic engagement remains at the forefront of German and international discourse.
