AfD candidate Kaufner: Education committee is faced with resistance!

In the Brandenburg state parliament, the election of the chair of the education committee is pending and the mood is tense. The AfD MP Dominik Kaufner, once a teacher in Berlin, was proposed as a candidate, but is exposed to violent rejection. The ruling SPD and the opposition of the CDU have already announced that he is voted against Kaufner, which means that he is denied the necessary majority. This was announced on Tuesday, and the possibility that the post will remain vacant is becoming more and more likely, such as rbb24 reported.

violent protests against Kaufner

Kaufner's choice is not only controversial within the parliament. Numerous youth and teacher associations mobilized against him, and a petition has collected almost 9,000 signatures against his nomination. The opponents emphasize that Kaufner's rights and his connections to right -wing extremist positions in the past deny him the suitability for this important office. As the CDU parliamentary group leader Jan Redmann explained, Kaufner is not sustainable for education policy and the culture of remembrance, which shows a clear attitude against nomination. The SPD also emphasizes that Kaufner represents "remigration fantasies" that are not acceptable in history policy, as in a report by MAZ-ONLINE

The AfD, on the other hand, sees itself as a victim of political discrimination and demands that the state student council, which is involved in the protest, withdraws, while planning an invitation to the student council for the next committee meeting. The election of the chairman in the education committee is crucial because this committee is concerned with important topics of educational and memory culture. Negotiations on the occupation are characterized by intensive political disputes, and the result remains to be seen.
