Joana Cotar (born 6 April 1973) is a German politician who has been a member of the Bundestag since the 2017 German federal election. Until November 2022, she was a member for the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Life and politics
Cotar was born 1973 in Pitești, Romania and studied German studies and political science at University of Mannheim.[1]
Cotar entered the newly founded AfD in 2013 and became a member of the Bundestag after the 2017 German federal election.[2]
Cotar is a member of the federal executive board of the AfD. She was part of the intra-party power struggle between the right-wing AfD-chairmen Jörg Meuthen and the right-wing extremist members of the board. Cotar belongs to the Meuthen-fraction and is publicly criticizing chairmen Tino Chrupalla.[3]
According to her account, she left the AfD on 21 November 2022.[4] Cotar cites "the close proximity of leading AfD officials to the President of the Russian Federation" as reason for her resignation.[5]
