AfD MPs vs The Left Party: A Legal Brawl over Alleged Insults - Stralsund Regional Court's Decision Anticipated
Right-wing AfD legislators Deny Allegations from the Left - Continued Process - Commission proposes directive to safeguard workers from radiation hazards via new legislation
Get ready for some political drama, y'all! The Regional Court of Stralsund is about to drop a bombshell today at 1 pm (that's right around lunchtime, so grab a sandwich and get comfy). The court will be sorting out a kerfuffle between members of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party and The Left Party, centering around some harsh words exchanged between Dirk Bruhn, an AfD honcho, and the AfD state parliamentarians.
In April, Bruhn hurled some zingers at the AfD parliamentarians, accusing them of mimicking his illness-related tremors and labeling them as "human arseholes" (just a friendly reminder, we're keeping things PG). The AfD members did not take kindly to these comments and later filed a lawsuit against The Left Party's Vorpommern-Rügen district association, claiming the association published a similar smear online.
However, things didn't go so well for the AfD state parliamentarians when they sued Bruhn in Schwerin. His account wasn't confirmed either, so it's unclear who was right or wrong there.
The suspense doesn't end there, folks! Tomorrow, a verdict is expected in a lawsuit by AfD state parliamentarians against The Left Party's Rostock district association. And here in Stralsund, we might just get a decision today!
