The foreign policy spokesperson for the AfD parliamentary group, Matthias Moosdorf, has had a part-time job as an honorary professor in Russia since September. Moosdorf confirmed a corresponding report by the news portal "T-Online", according to which he teaches at the internationally renowned Moscow Gnessin Academy of Music. The cellist wrote in a statement: He has repeatedly held guest professorships in his career as a musician. The honorary professorship at the Gnessin Academy reflects and honors his work as a globally active chamber musician.
Greens parliamentary group vice-chairman sharply critical
The deputy parliamentary group leader of the Greens and chairman of the Parliamentary Control Committee, Konstantin von Notz, sharply criticized Moosdorf's employment: "Once again it becomes clear how close the wires are between Moscow and the AfD," he told T-Online. "Only the AfD itself knows how to credibly make policy as a foreign policy spokesperson while being financed by dictatorships through honorary professorships."
