The Greens and the Left have reacted with concern to research by Stern, according to which AfD politicians visited former Bundestag member Birgit Malsack-Winkemann, suspected of terrorism, in custody. “If the results of the research are correct, the urgent question arises as to whether the alleged overthrow plans of the network around Henry the star.

The First Parliamentary Managing Director wants to use the research as an opportunity to discuss this with the parliamentary groups’ security representatives. “We must do everything we can to protect Parliament and ensure that it is not attacked from within,” said Mihalic.

For the federal chairwoman of the Left, Janine Wissler, the revelation shows “once again that the AfD is the parliamentary arm of right-wing terrorism.” The politician told the star: “The visits and the continued close connection make it clear that the AfD has a hinge function to right-wing terror and the brown swamp.” The AfD must be fought decisively by all democratic forces, demanded Wissler.

According to research by stern and RTL, three members of the current AfD parliamentary group have received permanent permission to visit Malsack-Winkemann in Berlin’s Lichtenberg correctional facility: Gereon Bollmann, Jürgen Pohl and Steffen Kotré. The Federal Prosecutor General recently charged the former judge with membership in a terrorist organization.

As part of the Reich Citizens’ Group around Henry XIII. Prince Reuss is said to have helped plan the overthrow of the federal government and led a spy squad of a kind of underground army through the Bundestag. Malsack-Winkemann has been in custody since December 7, 2022.

When asked by the dpa news agency, a spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group confirmed: “The group leadership is aware of contacts that were of a personal nature and have no connection with the work of the group.”

Left leader Wissler describes the fact that the AfD parliamentary group leadership sees this as a private matter as “absurd”. “Contacts with people who wanted to carry out a coup and are imprisoned on suspicion of right-wing terrorism are not a private matter, but extremely dangerous.” She added: “The visits once again raise previously unanswered questions about the AfD’s role in the coup plans, such as whether other MPs and employees were involved or informed.”
