AfD man kicked out of party after weapons appearance
Following criticism of a TikTok video showing him with an assault rifle, Hessian AfD member of state parliament Maximilian Müger has complied with a request to resign from his party.
"The state spokespersons of the AfD Hesse have asked Maximilian Müger to resign from the party - he complied with this request on Friday and also declared his resignation from the parliamentary group," explained the two state spokespersons Robert Lambrou and Andreas Lichert.
"We expressly distance ourselves from Maximilian Müger's behavior and condemn it in the strongest possible terms," the state association's statement continued. By leaving the party, Müger had "spared the party and the parliamentary group the time-consuming process of a party expulsion procedure and a parliamentary group expulsion, which would inevitably have been imposed on him due to his behavior".
This video caused a stir:
As reported by "Hessenschau", a video had briefly appeared on the online service TikTok in which Müger, holding a rifle, calls for a fight against migration. The video was quickly deleted again. Müger reportedly explained that it had been published "by mistake" and was actually intended for private use.
