Politics

[edit]

Petersen is part of the Pro-Russia movement within AfD. She advocates improving “the bilateral relationship” with Russia. Germany and Russia need a solid relationship based on trust, she said.[2] In July 2023, over a year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine began, Petersen appeared on Russian state television's Russia-1 "60 Minutes" program. The program is moderated by journalist Yevgeny Popov, who is also a member of the Duma for the United Russia party and supports Putin's policies there.[3]

Petersen opposes environmental, nutritional and sexual education at school, "left-wing gender policy", and vaccination obligations. She advocates financial relief for freelance midwives.[4]

In the 2020 Hamburg state elections Petersen was elected to the Bürgerschaft of Hamburg.[5] With 4,018 votes, she achieved the third best result of her party in candidates.[6] Petersen is member of the board of the AfD Hamburg and deputy chair [7] on the district board of Harburg.
