During the discussion on the Infection Protection Act in the Bundestag, activists, presumably inclined towards the AfD, harassed the politicians.
The MPs from the Munich district condemn the incident in the strongest possible terms.
District
- During the debate on the Infection Protection Act in the German Bundestag on Wednesday, the AfD not only caused an uproar with a poster campaign.
The party is also said to have smuggled right-wing troublemakers into parliament, some of whom were harassing members of the Bundestag.
Now the council of elders is discussing whether guests should no longer be admitted in the future.
Otten (AfD): Activists illegally entered the office.
Member of the Bundestag Gerold Otten (AfD) from Putzbrunn did not receive any guests on Wednesday and did not notice anything about the incident.
He first sat on the Defense Committee, then in plenary.
The parliamentary managing director Bernd Baumann had informed him that there was no knowledge that someone had been smuggled in by the AfD.
From the Weidel office, however, Otten heard that activists had illegally entered the office in order to film from here.
From the sixth floor you have a good view of the Brandenburg Gate.
The activists are said to have come in with press IDs, including the lady who harassed Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier at the elevator.
If someone smuggled in, then it should be condemned.
Otten: “We don't need any internal happenings.
I reject that just as much as the Greenpeace activists who smuggled in a few weeks ago. ”Now it must first be clarified who did what.
The facts are not clear.
Bach (SPD): AfD's right of visit abused
SPD member of the Bundestag Bela Bach from Graefelfing speaks of an "absolute crossing of boundaries and a breach of trust".
Each MP can bring up to six guests without registration in the sense of an open parliament.
"This is a privilege that was abused by the AfD," says Bach.
If such guest visits are no longer possible in the future, then that is "sad for democracy".
"But I support this decision if it serves the security of the Bundestag".
With a very bad feeling, you watch how the AfD tries to get corona critics and unconventional thinkers supporters on their side and sometimes use right-wing propaganda to twist facts so that in the end people no longer know what to believe.
Comparing the Corona Act with the Enabling Act of 1933 or spreading rumors about compulsory vaccination are just two examples.
Hahn (CDU): AfD continues to heat up the mood.
A “contempt for democracy” is what happened in the Bundestag, says CSU member Florian Hahn, who witnessed the scenario.
The AfD has made the principle of columns its own.
The societal ordeal caused by the corona crisis "is using the AfD to heat the mood even further," emphasizes Hahn.
"For them it is only a matter of undermining our free democratic basic order, that must not be allowed." Hahn hopes that it will continue to be possible for guests to visit the Bundestag in the interests of transparency.
"But if that is politically abused, you have to sanction those who are responsible for it," he demands.
Writer (left): Violation should have consequences.
The Left Bundestag member Eva-Maria Schreiber thinks that AfD members have smuggled guests into the Reichstag in order to film and intimidate members.
The methods of disrupting a democratic vote are a new, sad anti-democratic low point, even if they themselves have not been harassed.
But Schreiber had seen Anton Hofreiter from the Greens on the stairs in front of the plenary chamber by a woman in an aggressive tone to explain his vote.
Violations of the house rules, which had already been announced in advance, should have consequences.
If there is evidence that AfD MPs smuggled troublemakers into the Reichstag, she can imagine that these MPs will be subject to restrictions on the right to visit.
It is also possible to enforce a ban mile in front of the plenary for votes.
Hofreiter (Greens): AfD tries to disrupt democracy.
"Such behavior must not remain without consequences," says Anton Hofreiter (Greens).
It is another border crossing that AfD MPs have smuggled people into the Reichstag building who have deliberately harassed MPs.
“Once again the AfD is trying to disrupt parliamentary democracy.
She didn't succeed.
The Bundestag was able to fulfill its legislative task, ”said Hofreiter.
The council of elders is now rightly examining the consequences against the MPs and people involved.
But it is also clear to him: The Bundestag is an open, citizen-oriented parliament - and will remain so. "
