The CDU politician Jens Spahn feels misunderstood according to his statements about dealing with the AfD in the Bundestag. “What I have been experiencing for a few days is this maximum outrage. Words are put in my mouth,” said Spahn in the ZDF program Markus Lanz And criticized an “outrage loop” and “outrage rituals” in public.

“I didn’t use the word normalization,” said Spahn, complaining that it will be “trying to construct something”. For years he has been experiencing “hatred and agitation, sometimes anti -gay sayings” when he im Bundestag Previous about the ranks of the AfD MPs, said Spahn and confirmed: “Nobody really has to tell me what types are in their ranks.”

Spahn recently had in the Picture-Zeitung for an adapted handling of the AfD parliamentary group in the Bundestag pronounced and criticized in many cases. Politics must recognize how many millions of Germans AfD Spahn told the newspaper. In the case of procedures and processes in the Bundestag, he therefore recommends that the AfD be dealt with as with any other opposition party. It is necessary to “always have in mind: they sit so strongly because voters wanted to tell us something,” he told the newspaper.

In the ZDF Now said Spahn that the “outrage loop” of the past few days prevents it from weighing up whether it is better to force the AfD to set up selectable candidates for representative offices, “or to say from the outset, no circumstances, regardless of whom they send”. The basic question is: “We change the rules of the game, or we force them to play according to the rules of the game,” said Spahn. According to the game rules, playing the AfD means that the AfD, eligible candidates, must set up for the office of Bundestag Vice President, for example. “It would be different to say that you shouldn’t put a vice president at all. That is two different approaches,” said Spahn.

When asked about the reaction of AfD boss Tino Chrupalla on his statements in the Picture-Zeitung, Spahn stands for a “new CDU” and tearing the so -called fire wall to the party in part, said Spahn: “This is nonsense.” The CDU Be clearer when delimited to the AfD than some other party: “We are the last bulwark,” said Spahn. The AfD says that it wanted to “destroy the CDU” because it knew exactly. As the most important means of regaining voters from the AfD and strengthening trust in the parties in the middle, Spahn recommended: “Solving problems. Working hard. This is the core of the task in front of.”

Bärbel Bas warns of AfD politicians in offices

The SPD politician and outgoing Bärbel Bas said on the show that she also understood Spahn’s statements in such a way that he wanted to normalize the AfD. In recent years, the party has radicalized “in the language of how it misused the institutions for their purposes,” said Bas. Therefore, she could only warn against “taking the AfD in functions where it represents the institution of the German Bundestag”.

The rules of procedure of the Bundestag clear the same rights as all parties, said BAS. The exciting question, however, is whether you want to have an institution represented, “which it fights from the inside out every day, and also from the outside”. “I can really only warn against it, because they will not use the function as we know it as Democrats,” she added.

At the same time, BAS sees a problem in the way “how we talk about the topics of the AfD”. Other parties “kept going into a competition of topics with the AfD, and this is a big mistake, because we often often accept the topics as the AfD puts it,” said Bas. In this respect, she gives Spahn right that it is about solving problems. “Nevertheless, we try to go one more language. We cannot go into the competition with the AfD because it is always polemical, always poloarized and also works with fake news,” warned Bas.
