Herbert Hainer, President of FC Bayern München, has firmly stated that there is no place for politicians from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the club's committees. He criticized the AfD as a right-wing party that promotes societal division and undermines democratic principles. Hainer emphasized that this stance aligns with the club's statutes and its commitment to social responsibility. The club's committees currently include members from other political parties, such as CSU, SPD, and the Greens. Hainer expressed concern over the rise of the AfD and the shift towards right-wing politics in society, urging support for democracy ahead of the Bundestag election. Notably, Uli Hoeneß, the club's honorary president, has also previously criticized the AfD.
