Huy was born in 1953 in the West German city of
Braunschweig. She studied at the
John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University on a scholarship. During a discussion there, she caught the eye of
Edzard Reuter, who brought her into the Daimler-Benz group as his personal assistant in 1986. From April 1997, Huy served for eleven months as the first female member of the board of directors of Daimler-Benz. Huy joined the AfD in 2017, stating that the refugee policy of the
federal government at the time was too liberal for her. She was elected to the Bundestag in 2021. On 25 November 2023, Huy attended a
meeting at the Landhaus Adlon in Potsdam together with other AfD members,
CDU politicians, business figures, and far-right activists, including
Martin Sellner, leader of the
Identitarian Movement of Austria. The
Correctiv research network reported in January 2024 that Sellner had presented a "master plan" at the meeting for the "
remigration" of migrants and their descendants, including German citizens of migrant background; the report triggered mass protests against the AfD. In December 2025, the
Hamburg Regional Court dismissed a suit against Correctiv, treating the term "master plan" as protected opinion. In March 2026, the Berlin Regional Court II ruled that Correctiv's central claim — that the meeting concerned a plan to expel German citizens — was substantially untrue; Correctiv is appealing. Huy told the ARD-Hauptstadtstudio that nothing noteworthy had taken place at the meeting and that she had not previously known Sellner or been aware he would attend. == References ==
