(AfD). He entered the
state parliament of Thuringia after the
state elections of 27 October 2019. In the
2024 European Parliament election he came third on his party's list and entered the European Parliament.
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." 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.
