A photo of the CDU politician Amthor circulating on social media causes a stir.

The picture shows him laughing next to two young men.

Spicy: One is wearing a right-wing extremist T-shirt.

Anklam / Berlin - A photo taken together with two men made the CDU Bundestag member Philipp Amthor difficult to explain.

Tweet "Antifastic Left Bochum"

The image, which was circulated on the Internet, shows Amthor at a horse festival between two men, one of whom is wearing a T-shirt showing solidarity with the convicted and imprisoned Holocaust denier Ursula Haverbeck.

"If I had noticed the t-shirt label, I would of course not have taken the photo," Amthor posted on Instagram.

Whether and to what extent the photo published on Twitter was edited cannot be determined for him with certainty, said the CDU politician.

Whether the photo was manipulated could not initially be clarified beyond doubt for dpa.

At the horse festival in Boock in Western Pomerania on Sunday, many people asked him for a photo, Amthor told the German press agency.

"I did not and do not know the two citizens and their background."

On Instagram, Amthor explains: “In any case, it is well known that I am fighting defensively against the opponents of our constitutional state in Berlin.” To want to put him in such a context is disconcerting and a sign of a “completely irrelevant election campaign”.
