Politicians Hit Europe After AfD Creating a Stir in Hesse - Pentz Visits Serbia and Croatia With a Twist
European Minister Pentz Visits Serbia - Sudden Support from AfD Also Emerges - Members of the European Parliament are being urged to cast their votes on the aforementioned report.
Hey there! Here's the skinny on what's been going down in Europe lately.
Europe Minister Manfred Pentz, CDU member representing Hesse, is heading to Serbia and Croatia starting tomorrow. Pentz believes that Serbia is a vital ally for Germany and Hesse in the Balkans. "We're all about a strong, united Europe, and in my opinion, Serbia fits right in," said Pentz. His trip aims to strengthen bilateral ties and support Serbia's approach toward the EU.
But things took a wild turn when the AfD announced that exiled Hesse politicians, Anna Nguyen and Christian Rohde, had hopped on a plane, using their own dough, to join the tour.
Now, here's where things get a bit juicy. Remember, the AfD has been labeled as securely right-wing extremist. Pentz axed these two AfD politicians from his official trips after that classification. According to Pentz, he can't ask international negotiating partners to share a table with representatives from a securely right-wing extremist party.
In response, the AfD seemingly organized its own travel program, informing would-be media contacts and political representatives in both countries that they would meet up and represent the full democratic spectrum of Hesse. Robert Lambrou, the AfD's faction leader, found this arrangement to be just peachy.
As for the why and how surrounding the AfD's label as right-wing extremist, well, that's a tale for another time. But know that these developments have sparked quite a ruckus and may have significant implications for the party's members in the public sphere.
That's all the tea for now! Stay tuned for more updates on this brewing situation.
