It was the following scandal that the AfD had caused in the Bundestag: on Wednesday, visitors who had entered the building at the invitation of right-wing populists put pressure on MPs from other parties in the corridors of the Reichstag. But the incident has consequences for the AfD.
This Friday, MPs address the incidents at a current hour, and the other groups are attacking the AfD hard. Since the AfD has been in the Bundestag, it is only a matter of denouncing it and “dragging the other parties in the dirt,” said the first parliamentary managing director of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group, Michael Grosse-Brömer. The pressure on MPs by visitors who had invited AfD MPs is an “attack on the free mandate” and on democracy, said the CDU politician. “That’s where the fun really ends.”
During the Bundestag debate on the Infection Protection Law on Wednesday, delegates were molested, filmed and insulted by visitors in the corridors of the Reichstag building. This happened, among others, the Minister of Economic Affairs Peter Altmaier (CDU) and the internal politician of the FDP Konstantin Kuhle. A security report from the Bundestag police shows that the four visitors were invited by the three AfD MPs Udo Hemmelgarn, Petr Bystron and Hansjörg Müller.
Gauland apologizes
The chairman of the AfD parliamentary group, Alexander Gauland, said the behavior of the guests was “uncivilized” and not his. “I apologize for that as the leader of the parliamentary group.” However, the visitors had gone through security checks. “We couldn’t have expected something like this to happen.”
Green politician Britta Haßelmann didn’t let Gauland get away with it. Those excuses were “double bottom excuses,” he said.
