• Germany: The AfD ultra-right overthrows the CDU and SPD in Thuringia
  • Germany: 'The Wing', the toughest faction of the German ultra-right that has swept Thuringia

The deputy of Alternative for Germany (AfD), Beatrix von Storch, granddaughter of the finance minister of the Third Reich, Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk, has returned to be at the center of the controversy by a gesture in Parliament subject to interpretations, although He is the one he uses universally as a death threat .

The video showing the deputy moving her hand, flat, at the throat, as if to cut someone's head , has made viral on social networks, as another example of Von Strorch's aggressiveness and danger of his party .

The images, however, are reproduced without context, hence most of the media have not added to the criticisms of the network to the gesturing language of the deputy and the meaning of it. Some twitter users have come to interpret it as an execution order to the right-wing hitmen.

The case, which occurred during the intervention in the general debate on the budgets of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) deputy, Johannes Kahrs, has a prologue.

Kahrs began his turn by responding to AfD deputy Martin Erwin, who, previously, in the Culture game debate, said " Diversity is detrimental to German culture , which is like crematorium ashes in budgets."

" Right-wing extremists have me here, " the Social Democratic deputy shouted from the rostrum with a flat hand in his throat.

It was then, following the sequence of events, when Von Storch, emulating Kahrs, made that gesture while saying "up to here, up to here" .

The AfD deputy said in her twitter account that her gesture and her words were going to the vice president of the Bundestag, Claudia Roth, to sanction Kars with a call to order.

Storch, a former European deputy, is a controversial character and since he justified the use of firearms against refugees who tried to pass illegally to Germany, a recurring example of extremism that nests in AfD. In this case, however, it covers the benefit of the doubt.
