AfD Kompakt, October 6, 2023.
During an election campaign event in Ingolstadt, our
chairman Tino Chrupalla, by means of external factors, suffered a bodily injury
the consequences of which cannot so far be conclusively assessed. He was, by
persons unknown, attacked and wounded by means of a needle by which possibly
toxic substances were conveyed. According to the information submitted to me, I
cannot in the present situation exclude an attempted homicide. And as if this
and the fact the Bavarian police could not protect him were not already bad
enough and a scandal of the first order, pitiless and unprincipled statements
come from the responsible Bavarian Interior Minister and also from Thüringen Minister-president
Ramelow. An Interior Minister in the midst of an election campaign who
apparently feels secretive joy over an attack on a political competitor and
designates his party as “infamous and underhanded” [infam und hinterfotzig] sounds like the propagandist of an actual
one-party society. And a Minister-president, who for years governs without a
majority and arrived in office in dubious ways, wallows in antifa speech and
mocks the “victim’s role” of the injured. No wonder that malice and mockery
dominate, primarily in the public broadcasting media, instead of sticking to
the facts and questioning in what a wretched political condition our society
finds itself. Those governing and their helpers in the so-called civil society,
flanked by the all too close media, are attempting to physically and psychologically
attack and destroy the AfD and its representatives. That is shabby and most
profoundly unworthy of a free society.
