Bundestag: AfD member causes a scandal with NS comparison

O-Ton Bernd Baumann, parliamentary manager of the AfD parliamentary group: “Mr. President! Ladies and gentlemen, a new Bundestag is being constituted today, and for almost two centuries it has been a fixed parliamentary custom for a so-called senior president to open this first session. And Out of respect for age, that was the oldest member of all, from the Paulskirche in Frankfurt to the Parliament of the Empire, from the Weimar Republic to the reunified Germany, even well into Merkel’s reign this rule. In almost two centuries only one parliament has dared to break with this tradition. That was, it must be said clearly, in 1933, after the seizure of power with a President Hermann Göring. Is that your role model? “
O-Ton Carsten Schneider, parliamentary manager of the SPD parliamentary group: “You (the AfD, dR) have lost votes, in approval in Germany, and it is part of the fact that the Bundestag has rules of procedure. That is also the difference to Weimar Republic, which you, Mr. Baumann, dared to quote here – dared to quote 33 here is a cheek. The Weimar Republic, the constitution was good. There were too few democrats who supported it, and there were too many who fought and defamed them from within. And their troops belonged. Your predecessors belonged. We propose that the senior president, as stipulated in the Bundestag’s rules of procedure, be the one to attend Years of service spent most of his time here in the Bundestag, and I couldn’t imagine a better age president than Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble.
