Two months after the disruptive action in the Bundestag, there are first consequences.

"So far, two house bans have been issued," said a parliamentary spokesman in Berlin on Thursday.

“Proceedings under the Administrative Offenses Act have also been initiated against several people, resulting in fines.” The “Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland” (“RND”) had previously reported on it.

During the debate on the controversial Infection Protection Act, MPs, including Minister of Economic Affairs Peter Altmaier (CDU), were harassed, filmed and insulted by visitors in the hallways of the Reichstag building on November 18.

In Altmaier's case, the troublemakers filmed the action and posted the video on the Internet.

A report by the Bundestag police shows that the visitors were invited by three AfD MPs.

According to the “RND” report, the former SPD member of the Bundestag Angelika Barbe also participated in the disruptive actions.

Former members of the Bundestag can get a house ID for parliament.

"Even against former members of the German Bundestag, violations of the house rules of the Bundestag can be punished as an administrative offense," said the spokesman for the Bundestag in general.

“They have no special rights with regard to their behavior in the Bundestag buildings during visits.

However, these procedures are not yet completed. "
