The AFD is a fast growing conservative party in Germany.

INGOLSTADT, Germany (LifeSiteNews) —  The co-head of the anti-globalist Alternative for Germany (AfD) has reportedly been assaulted with a syringe and taken to an intensive care unit.

According to multiple media reports, during an AfD campaign event in Ingolstadt on October 4, Tino Chrupalla collapsed and was taken to a hospital.

German journalist Boris Reitschuster, who talked to eyewitnesses and members of the AfD, reported that Chrupalla was assaulted by two men who wanted to take a photo with him. The men allegedly injected an unknown substance with a syringe into the politician’s arm, which caused him to have an anaphylactic shock. Chrupalla was immediately taken to the hospital.

Police temporarily arrested the two suspects and frisked them, but they were ultimately let go, eyewitnesses said.

Austrian publicist and former politician Gerald Grosz, who was invited to speak at the event, told the German newspaper Junge Freiheit that Chrupalla was assaulted by two men and had pointed at them when he suddenly became sick. Grosz also confirmed that a syringe was found at the venue.

Junge Freiheit reported on October 5 that Chrupalla is currently in the intensive care unit of a hospital in Ingolstadt and that his body had indeed been pricked.

Serious attacks on AfD politicians in recent weeks
Several AfD politicians have experienced various attacks in recent weeks. According to his own statements, Chrupalla himself has recently been de-banked by a subsidiary of Deutsche Bank.

The other co-head of the AfD, Alice Weidel, was recently evacuated from her home together with her family by police forces due to a serious threat of assault against her. A few weeks ago, another AfD politician, Andreas Jurca, a member of the city council of Augsburg, was beaten and rushed to the hospital after an assault allegedly committed by migrants who recognized the politician.

In August, a man pretended to take a photo with Catholic AfD politician Beatrix von Storch (similar to the Chrupalla assault) and assaulted von Storch by smearing feces on her.

The recent, potentially life-threatening assault on the high-ranking AfD politician Chrupalla comes amid a tense political climate in which leftist politicians are calling for a ban on the AfD as the populist party keeps surging in the polls.

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier even appeared to threaten supporters of the AfD in a recent keynote address. Steinmeier said, “No responsible voter can plead for mitigating circumstances when he visibly strengthens political forces that contribute to the brutalization of our society and the erosion of liberal democracy.

The economist and former presidential candidate for the AfD, Max Otte, said that the recent assaults on AfD politicians prove that Germany has become a “totalitarian system.” He wrote on X (formerly Twitter)

Yeah, I don’t know who side the German police are on. Remember a few weeks ago there was a big road blockage by those End Oil idiots and the German police were arresting the people trying to stop and move them so they could get to work.

This cannot go on forever, there’s going to be a breaking point reached.

Here, there, everywhere...

Sound familiar? Watch the video with the equivalent of the FBI in Germany.


Germany: Fresh Call To Ban AfD Comes From CDU Politician

While the left is well known for calling for a ban on the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), often described as a conservative party, also has a variety of politicians calling for the party to be banned.

This time, CDU MP Marco Wanderwitz, who was personally defeated by an AfD candidate, plans to introduce a motion in the Bundestag to ban the party.

Wanderwitz made the call to ban the party during the state-run ARD television program “Panorama,” saying, “We are dealing with a party that seriously endangers our free democratic basic order and the state as a whole,” which is why “it is high time to ban them.”

Wanderwitz says he is searching out other MPs to back his vote; however, the ultimate authority on whether such a ban is possible is the German Constitutional Court. Not only are the legal hurdles for such a ban very high, but the political implications of banning the AfD would be enormous.

The AfD is the second most popular party in the country, and currently sits at 21 percent in Politico’s poll of polls, only behind the CDU. However, some polls have placed it as high as 23 percent, indicating that nearly one out of four German voters in the country could back the party. Approximately 30 percent of German voters say they could imagine voting for the party.

In the event of a ban, the AfD could still appeal the process at the European Court of Justice (ECJ).

Wanderwitz is particularly irked by the fact that the AfD has any money at all, saying during his ARD interview that if there was a ban, then “all these people who can now be right-wing extremists, paid with tax money, 24 hours a day would have to look for another job the next day.”

Notably, Wanderwitz lost his constituency to AfD deputy Mike Moncsek. The only reason Wandertwitz has a job in politics still is due to the party system in Germany, with the CDU placing him on their list of candidates, which helped him gain re-entry into the Bundestag.

Besides Wanderwitz’s own personal fortunes, the CDU party also sees the AfD as its main democratic competitor to its right, giving the party ample motive to want to see a ban.

Wanderwitz said he fears the AfD’s growing strength: “The radical right-wing movement was very fragmented for many years. But the unifying, warming campfire of the AfD is now so dominant that almost everything that exists in this political spectrum is tied together.”

Wanderwitz, however, may not represent the current mainstream opinion within his party. So far, the head of the CDU, Friedrich Merz, does not back a ban of the AfD.

“Party bans have never led to solving a political problem,” he said in a ZDF summer interview earlier this year. Nevertheless, he has vowed to never work with the party.



Regional elections are set to take place in Hesse and Bavaria on Oct. 8, with the AfD expected to outperform.

Germany Defunds the Nation’s Populist Party.

The populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party will be deprived of hundreds of millions of euros to which other political parties will remain entitled after the country passed a new law requiring parties to have been represented in the German parliament three times in a row before they can receive federal cash. The AfD was first elected to the German parliament in 2017 and was re-elected in 2021, meaning its affiliate foundation, called the Desiderius Erasmus Stiftung, will receive nothing, despite the party currently polling second nationally, above German Chancellor Olaf Scholz‘s Social Democrats (SDP).

The Desiderius Erasmus Stiftung’s chairman, Erika Steinbach, argued the decision “quite openly demonstrated an oppressive contempt for democracy that would do credit to any authoritarian country.” The decision was similarly denounced by AfD Member of Parliament Mariana Harder-Kühnel, who said, “the establishment of an instrument to weaken the opposition could become a problem in a free, democratic constitutional state.”

The law comes after a series of attempts by the German establishment to attack the AfD following its electoral gains over the past several years. Several high-ranking politicians – including German President Frank Walter Steinmeier – have floated the idea of banning the party, while its members have been repeatedly physically attacked.

Germany is incredibly disappointing at times.
