Submission statement: Populist party rails against nepotism despite doing nepotism themselves. This is in one of the states where the AfD is most powerful, and the criticism is coming from the right wing of the party, so it may impact their election chances.

Populist parties are more immune to corruption scandals because they’ll say “The system is corrupt, not us! The establishment is just as bad. They don’t want us to succeed because we fight for you, the people.”
The scandal is absorbed into the populist narrative.
