【Latest News: Weidel Comments on the Arson of a Car Belonging to a Leading Politician of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party】
On November 3, 2025, Berlin time, the co-chairs of the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party in the German Bundestag, Elisa Weiden and Tino Chrupalla, issued a joint statement:
We have received with great concern the news that the car of Bernd Baumann, the first parliamentary state leader of the AfD faction in the Bundestag, was set on fire. This act of violence, which damages property without any involvement of citizens, is unrelated to political discussion, even if it is harsh and principled.
An attack on one of the main politicians of Germany's largest opposition party is a direct attack on German democracy. We hope that the AfD faction can rely on the solidarity and support of other parliamentary factions to counter the enemies of democracy. We trust the investigative authorities and expect the perpetrators to be identified and brought to justice as soon as possible.
