huringian Democracy Drama: AfD Alterspräsident Sparks Parliamentary Chaos 🎭

In a heated session of the Thuringian parliament, AfD Alterspräsident Jürgen Treutler stirred controversy by creatively blocking proceedings, refusing to declare quorum, and cutting off microphones. His actions aim to safeguard the AfD’s Wiebke Muhsal’s chances of becoming Landtagspräsidentin. This chaos forces the CDU to appeal to the constitutional court, delaying sessions and extending the tenure of incumbent Ministerpräsident Bodo Ramelow indefinitely. With Thuringia’s demographic decline, the political future remains uncertain.
