Corinna Miazga, an AfD politician, died at the age of 39. A spokeswoman for the AfD parliamentary group verified this. The former Bavarian state leader and deputy leader of her party in the Parliament "died after a lengthy struggle against her critical illness," stated party and faction head Tino Chrupalla on Twitter.
According to a statement from the parliamentary group, you would be losing "a devoted member of parliament and a faithful comrade-in-arms from the very beginning" if she left.
Miazga was born in the Lower Saxony town of Oldenburg in 1983. She described Bavaria as her "home of choice" on her website. The lawyer joined the AfD in 2013 and previously served as head of the Straubing-Regen district association.
Miazga led the AfD state organization in Bavaria from 2019 until 2021. She has served in the Bundestag since 2017. She had made her breast cancer diagnosis public a few years before.
