Left-Wing Party Inquiries About Right-Wing Networking During Parliamentary Trips
Berlin, January 23, 2025 (hib) – The Left-Wing Party in the Bundestag has submitted a minor question to the federal government about alleged right-wing networking during parliamentary trips. The inquiry concerns trips taken by members of the Bundestag to Hungary, Poland, and France.
The Left-Wing Party suspects that German parliamentarians may have established contacts with right-wing extremist or nationalist groups during these trips. The party is particularly concerned about the participation of members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the delegations.
According to the Left-Wing Party, there is evidence that AfD members met with representatives of the Hungarian government, which is considered close to the extreme right. The party also alleges that meetings took place with Polish politicians linked to the nationalist Law and Justice Party (PiS).
The Left-Wing Party has asked the federal government for a detailed account of the contacts made by German parliamentarians during these trips. The party wants to know whether any meetings took place with “right-wing extremist or nationalist groups, organizations, or individuals.”
The inquiry also seeks information about the security precautions taken during the trips and whether there were any external participants who were not part of the official Bundestag delegation.
The federal government has until March 23 to respond to the minor question. It remains unclear at this time whether the inquiry will lead to any further investigations or consequences.
