As the AfD had banned Maximilian Krah and Petr Bystron from appearing in public during the campaign for the 2024 European elections, Aust was "in the national spotlight."[2] The AfD won 15 of Germany's 96 seats in the European Parliament. At their inaugural meeting, the 15 newly elected MEPs chose Aust as head of the AfD's delegation to the European Parliament, while also approving a motion not to include Krah in their delegation.[3]
