Ulrich Siegmund is a former perfume salesman who won the regional elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Siegmund built his business career in the fragrance sector before becoming a prominent figure in German politics.
Known as the smiling face of the AfD, Siegmund has become one of the most influential personalities in the German far right. His trajectory took him from businessman in the fragrance sector to a top politician in a party associated with the radical right.
Siegmund even signed copies of a magazine that nicknamed him "the most dangerous man in Germany", a title that contrasts with the softer image he tries to project publicly.
Additionally, Siegmund has been accused of nepotism, which has raised questions about his political conduct and the way he exercises power.
