Other Positions
According to Moncsek, he joined the AfD in 2015 as a result of the refugee crisis in Germany due to negative personal experiences with refugees. He felt, that despite declining refugee numbers, there were too few controls at the borders. He "has no reservations against people coming here, but they have to be useful to the national product," Moncsek said in an interview with the Freie Presse. Moncsek intends to campaign in the Bundestag for the long-term preservation of the diesel engine and for the strengthening of small and medium-sized enterprises and individual tourism.[6]
