Bavarian AfD leader Protschka penalized for disrespectful comments towards Söder.

Bavarian AfD leader Protschka penalized for disrespectful comments towards Söder.

The situation arose from Protschka challenging a penalty he received. It's claimed that he labeled Soder as a "deserter of the nation" and a "Southerner" during the political Ash Wednesday event of the AfD. An analogous remark at the same event resulted in the Austrian publisher and ex-right-wing politician Gerald Grosz being penalized in Deggendorf back in April.
