EU Castigates AfD for Mask Rule Infractions
In a stark rebuke, the CDU/CSU faction's parliamentary business manager, Michael Grosse-Brömer, has publicly criticised the AfD's behaviour during the first plenary day of the Bundestag. Grosse-Brömer expressed his disappointment, stating that it is sad to see the AfD violating reason and decency.
The criticism is due to the AfD's alleged violation of mask requirements, a measure put in place to ensure public health and safety. Grosse-Brömer described the AfD's behaviour as irresponsible and provocative.
During the first plenary session of the Bundestag, CDU parliamentarian Thomas Bareiß and several AfD members, including Kay Gottschalk and Carolin Bachmann, exhibited unwanted behaviour. Some members allegedly ignored the request of the Bundestag President to wear masks, while others caused disturbances in the chamber.
The AfD's behaviour has been a topic of controversy and debate, with the Union also joining in the criticism. The alleged violation of mask requirements during the first plenary day has been widely documented by media, raising questions about the AfD's commitment to public health and safety.
The AfD's parliamentary group was photographed by dpa during the first plenary day in the Bundestag, providing visual evidence of the alleged behaviour. The behaviour is believed to endanger not only the AfD members themselves but also others present in the chamber.
The first plenary day in the Bundestag saw a significant amount of controversy due to the AfD's behaviour. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to health and safety guidelines in public settings, especially during a pandemic.
