At least four AfD MPs currently play for FC Bundestag. Other AfD members should not be allowed to join the football club. But what happens to existing memberships?
The FC Bundestag does not want any members AfD take up more. The football club decided this at its general meeting, wrote Green MP Bruno Hönel, one of the team’s vice-captains, on X, formerly Twitter.
“We do not accept discrimination, our values are cosmopolitanism, tolerance and a commitment to democracy. The right-wing extremists want the opposite.” “The Pioneer” previously reported on the decision.
According to information from the portal, the football club’s board is also checking the existing memberships of at least four AfD MPs. The FC Bundestag is the cross-party football team in the German Bundestag.
