Claudia Roth defends Berlinale invitation from AfD MPs. Roth: Guests would have to endure pleas against racism - "otherwise they should stay away" The AfD is represented as full members of the Bundestag's Committee for Culture and Media with MPs Marc Jongen and Martin Erwin Renner.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is treating the AfD as a suspected right-wing extremist case. The next edition of the Berlinale runs from February 15th to 25th.
