The AfD has smuggled people into the Reichstag building, harassing MPs and holding their mobile phone cameras to their faces. I find these attempts to influence electoral behavior absolutely unheard of. That should be avoided.

The Bundestag administration confirmed the incident at the request of t-online. He is known to the Bundestag police and is under examination. So far the identity of the interferer is unknown.

In general, MPs can accompany six people as guests without specifying personal details. A spokesman for the Bundestag administration said this rule was suspended as a security measure on Wednesday. All guests were required to provide personal details and were checked by the police upon entering. It was also said that it was not yet clear whether the identity of the people could be determined in hindsight.
Demonstrations around the Bundestag are not allowed
To protect parliamentary work against attacks by radicalized protesters, the Interior Ministry, in coordination with the Bundestag, did not allow protests in the pacified area around the building. Therefore, the security authorities had warned of blockades in parliament. Meanwhile there are disputes at the Brandenburg Gate, the police use water cannons.

FDP member Johannes Vogel asked on Twitter for the consequences for those who caused the unrest: “Anyone who, as a parliamentary group or member of the Bundestag, deliberately introduces such people onto German Bundestag property and therefore gives them access to constitutional bodies, hinder them and, therefore, our democracy. Have consequences! “
