AfD leader: “Attack on me must be seen as an attack” Afghanistan again rocked by a major earthquake

German AfD leader Tino Chrupalla assumes that he was attacked on the sidelines of the election meeting in Ingolstadt a week ago.

“On the whole, this attack on me can be seen as an attack,” he said at a press conference in Berlin on Wednesday, where he spoke extensively about the incident for the first time. Chrupalla provided information about a tissue sample he said was taken from the upper arm at the site of the needle puncture previously mentioned in a doctor’s letter.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office in Ingolstadt (Bavaria) also commented on Wednesday. The investigation continued to focus “on the open question of when and how this diagnosed puncture affecting Mr. Chrupalla on his right upper arm occurred during the election campaign on the theater square in Ingolstadt and who caused it,” authorities said.

State elections took place in Bavaria last Sunday. The AfD, which is partly right-wing extremist, became the third strongest force in the southern German state with 14.6 percent (+4.4 points). (sda/dpa)
