Due to an incident in the event of a commemoration of the Holocaust victims in Strausberg in Brandenburg, the politician, which is criticized, has informed his leak from the party, according to the AfD district board. He had suggested to the affected city council to leave the AfD, said the chairman of the AfD district association Märkisch-Oderland, Falk Janke, the German press agency. He explained his party leak in writing this morning.
Investigations into threats initiated
After lying on the wreath on Monday to commemorate the victims of National Socialism, three men in Strausberg are said to have come into controversy with different political views, the police said. In the course of the debate, a 35 -year -old – an AfD city councilor – is said to have pushed one of the men and then pulled out a pocket knife. The state security responsible for politically motivated acts is determined by the allegation of bodily harm and the threat.
The city council did not want to comment on him after the allegations became known. On request, he announced: “No statements will be made at the present time.”
AfD district chairman: Damage caused by party
The AfD district chairman Janke, who is also a member of the state parliament, said the local politician caused damage to the AfD. If he hadn’t left, the party would have advised about the incident and there might have been excluded.

Disruptions at the memorial event criticized
The East police department had told the incident on Tuesday that police officers were able to put the suspect. The 35-year-old did not have a knife at the time.
The police could not say what the dispute was about. The participants would have to be interviewed, said a spokesman.
As in previous years, the commemoration had been organized by the city of Strausberg and by the Märkisch-Oderland district association of the “Association of the Persecuted of the Nazi regime-Association of Anti-Fascist: Inside”. It took place on a memorial stone behind a senior center. According to the association, several AfD city councils also took part.
Association: AfD city council is said to have appeased
During the memorial event, there were repeated disorders, said the association’s spokesman, Samuel Signer. “The subsequent massive threat to members of our organization and further anti -fascist: Inside by a member of the Strausberg city council must have consequences.”
The threatened people had fled to the adjacent retirement home. Signer described an AfD city councilor and pushed the attacker off. The “Märkische Oderzeitung” reported mobbing and wrangling at the memorial event.
