Bundestag President Wolfgang Schäuble has criticized the lack of demarcation between the AfD and corona deniers and right-wing extremists.

In an interview with WELT AM SONNTAG, the CDU politician said: The fact that the AfD criticizes government policy with regard to the corona protective measures corresponds to its democratic mandate as an opposition party.

From my point of view, however, the AfD weakens its own arguments and persuasive power because it does not distinguish itself convincingly enough from radical margins.

After Auschwitz one could no longer be a right-wing extremist in Germany, and one should also have no connection to this milieu.

“The AfD has apparently not yet understood this in all of its groups.

And she tries to really collect everything on the part of the corona deniers that gives her more support.

That is not justifiable for a democratic party that wants to take responsibility. "

The President of the Bundestag also rejected the party's demand for a post as Vice President of the German Bundestag: "I've been a member of the Bundestag for a long time and can definitely remember times when not every parliamentary group had a Vice President." ensure that the elected AfD MPs have the same rights and duties as everyone else, "but as a CDU politician, I am of course committed to ensuring that they are not re-elected to the Bundestag."

Schäuble has spoken out in favor of a sober debate about public service broadcasting: “When the AfD says two and two is four, then not everyone is a Nazi who confirms this statement.” In the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, everyone is initially against Contribution increases were, so Schäuble.

That was also recorded in the coalition agreement between the Greens, the SPD and the CDU.

Schäuble called for a more relaxed approach to this issue.

"In any case, our country has already survived worse disputes than the fee debate."
