AfD separates from security chief: criminal record and controversial!

AfD separates from security chief: criminal record and controversial!

A new scandal overshadows the AfD parliamentary group after it parted ways with one of its security employees. He had several previous convictions and was conspicuous for a number of serious offences. In particular, the fact that he was responsible for an incident involving threats and illegal possession of weapons had far-reaching consequences. Bernd Baumann, the first parliamentary director of the AfD, confirmed that the employee, who has been legally convicted since 2024, had been terminated, but did not reveal any further details for data protection reasons. This is reported by Merkur.

What exactly happened? The affected security employee has an inglorious past: in 2022 he was sentenced to finance because he threatened residents of an asylum seeker accommodation with a weapon. This led to a further conviction for threats and alcohol at the wheel, since it was picked up with 1.8 per thousand at the wheel of a vehicle with forbidden weapons such as a truck and pepper spray. Due to its offenses, the legitimate punishment was 180 daily rates of 50 euros each, which made a total of 8,750 euros. There was also a lot of sensation that extremely right -wing chat groups with a attractive content were found on his cell phone, including a group called "1888".

Security measures tightened

The affair also has an impact on the security measures in the Bundestag: in the past few months, several AfD employees have been refused to issue domestic cards. This measure was made to ensure that the ID cards cannot be misused for anti -constitutional purposes. Employees such as the extremely right Islam enemy Michael Stürzenberger are particularly affected. It is no secret that the controls have been continuously tightened since the AfD moved into in 2017. Today, reliability reviews have become an annual obligation for all home-card holders.

The background to this measure is not only the latest incident, but also the distrust of certain people within the AfD that has existed for a long time, which are repeatedly negative due to their behavior. The released security employee, who is also chairman of the AfD local association Bodenseekreis Mitte, was recently mentioned in a further connection with racist statements and threats, which discredit him as party-internal functional.

A look into the past

A look at the story shows that the released security officer, Philipp R., is no exception. As early as 2022, he was convicted of a racist attack. He had insulted and threatened asylum seekers in accommodation. The incident is symptomatic of the problem within the AfD, where extremely right -wing attitudes and actions become public. In this regard, other AfD employees who have not received any domestic cards have also caused excitement with right-wing structures and controversy for racist provocations.

At a time when political opinions are increasingly diverging, such incidents are of little help to the AfD's reputation. The party's next steps regarding its internal disciplinary measures are still uncertain. This affair will undoubtedly also influence future discussions about security precautions and preventive measures in the Bundestag. What happens next with the dismissed employee and whether he will continue to hold an office in the Bodenseekreis remains to be seen. For the AfD, this situation is a sign that serious self-cleaning measures are necessary in order to get out of this mess.
