Claudia Roth defends Berlinale invitation from AfD MPs. Roth: The guests would have to endure pleas against racism - "otherwise they should stay away" The AfD is represented in the Bundestag's Committee for Culture and Media with MPs Marc Jongen and Martin Erwin Renner as full members.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is treating the AfD as a suspected right-wing extremist case. Along with Cannes and Venice, the Berlinale is one of the world's largest film festivals.
