The German authorities have repeatedly tightened screws on AfD, which hits out at the EU’s migration policy and stands for a “good, partner-like dialogue” with Russia.
Two MPs are from the AfD (Alternative for Germany) faction, while the five other members support individual lawmakers. Salaries of all seven are being withheld, Bild reports.
The AfD members reportedly have to undergo an obligatory reliability check “to avert risks to the Bundestag’s security, functionality and operational capacity.”
AfD parliamentary manager Bernd Baumann has meanwhile signaled readiness to take legal action against Bundestag President Julia Kolckner, accusing her of “further discrimination against the AfD in parliamentary proceedings.”
