Marc Stephan Jongen (born 23 May 1968 in Merano, Italy) is a German politician (AfD). From 2003 to 2017 he was a research assistant for philosophy at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe.
Jongen is regarded as a "party philosopher" of the right-wing AfD, having been called "chief ideologue" or "thought leader".[1] He was the chairman of AfD Baden-Württemberg from March 2017 to February 2019 and has been its Deputy State leader ever since. In the 2017 federal election he got elected to the Bundestag.
Ideology[]
Stuttgarter Zeitung noted that Jongen has failed to adequately distance himself from the far-right Flügel faction of the party, lead by Björn Höcke. Jongen also said that there are "differences in mentality between East and West Germany".[2]
