“Yes, I was angry,” said Ralf Stadler in an apology on Wednesday at the beginning of the plenary session. At the time, he wasn’t aware that it was just a technical glitch, says the AfD MP. Of course, he was the only one last week, but first things first: Recently, the session had to be ended early due to a failure of the microphone system in the state parliament.
Emergency motions from the SPD, FW and AfD, which were still pending consultation, were postponed to the specialist committees. It can happen, nobody seemed to have a problem with it except Ralf Stadler, who fumed on Facebook: “It’s amazing what’s going on there.” The whole thing is a nasty maneuver by the state parliament office, if not the state chancellery, to prevent him and his speech. Him, only him.
Now President Ilse Aigner (CSU) reprimanded the AfD man on Tuesday. You defend yourself against the insinuation that the defect was caused intentionally. That is “malicious”, damages democracy, “the plenary hall is not suitable as a backdrop for conspiracy theories”.
As a result, Stadler became more subdued, but used the stage of the “personal statement” to present new dubious processes: Minister of Agriculture Michaela Kaniber (CSU) stole his applications. Yes, with who else?
