During a party meeting in North Rhine-Westphalia, a representative from the extremist AfD party named Mayer-Soltau attacked his colleague, Helfrich, throwing him from his chair to the ground. This unexpected event occurred within a party known for its extremist positions and has attracted significant attention.

Criticism and Reactions

The AfD party, which is always in the spotlight due to its controversial positions, is now facing severe internal criticism. The party leadership has explicitly expressed concern over intra-party behavior following this incident and has called for a thorough investigation into the matter. Meanwhile, Helfrich's accusations remain unproven, and both parties should be presumed innocent until the truth is established.

No official reaction from Mayer-Soltau, the accused, has been released yet. However, this incident could have profound effects on the political discourse and public image of the AfD party.
