Row in the Bundestag: Order of reprimand for "Moscow minion of the AfD"
Green Party MP Wagener provokes in the Bundestag with an animated film comparison. What political controversy is behind the exchange of blows with the AfD in the Bundestag?
Robin Wagener, a Green party MP, received an orderly call from Bundestag Vice President Omid Nouripour for verbally attacking Markus Frohnmaier of the AfD. During a debate on an AfD motion, Wagener called Frohnmaier a "Moscow minion" and accused him of reciting a memo from the Kremlin. Nouripour deemed the term "Moscow minion" to be "clearly derogatory". Frohnmaier has faced scrutiny over his ties to Russia, including attending a forum in St. Petersburg under the patronage of President Vladimir Putin in June.
