Alexander von Wiest (1 March 1947 - 19 September 2011), was a right-wing populist and partially right-wing extremist Besmenian politician, who served as governor of Greuningia from 1998 to 2008. Von Wiest was also party leader of the Besmenian Republican Party from 1989 to 1990 and leader of the BRP's successor party National Besmenian Party from 1990 until his death in 2011.
Von Wiet was elected to the Greungingian State Chamber in the 1978 Greuningian state election. At 31, he was the youngest MP. After the resignation of Helmut Schwarzberg as BRP party chairman after the heavy defeat of the BRP in the 1989 Besmenian federal election, von Wiest was appointed as the new party chairman. Under him, the BRP and the 1987 founded party National Besmenian Alliance joined forces in July 1990 to form the new National Besmenian Party. Von Wiest became NBP party leader.
Von Wiest's critics called him, among other things, a right-wing populist with some right-wing extremist ideology. In his years as party leader of the BRP and NBP, von Wiest often deliberately used insulting words towards other politicians and used a provocative language. In doing so. He also often spoke disparagingly about international politicians. To this day, von Wiest is considered as one of the most controversial politicians in Besmenia.
On September 12, 2011, Von Wiest was kidnapped by supporters of Al-Fijar and murdered in a wooded area near Lenzborn before police arrived. His assassination sparked a heated debate about terrorism in Besmenia.
