About René AUST
René Aust represents Germany in the European Parliament as a member of Alternative for Germany (AfD), the country's primary far-right political party that emerged in 2013 and has gained prominence through its Eurosceptic and anti-immigration positions. Aust sits with the Europe of Sovereign Nations (ESN) political group, a far-right coalition that advocates for stronger national sovereignty, opposes further European integration, and promotes stricter immigration controls across the EU. He demonstrates strong parliamentary engagement with an attendance record of 92.4%, significantly above the European Parliament average of approximately 82%, and has participated in 92% of votes, casting 1,730 ballots out of 1,873 possible votes. Aust serves a full term in the current European Parliament session. His presence reflects the broader trend of Eurosceptic and nationalist parties gaining representation in European institutions, contributing to debates on migration policy, national sovereignty, and the future direction of European integration from a distinctly anti-federalist perspective.
