Allegation of incitement to hatred - Halemba case occupies AfD federal executive committee

The incitement of the people and other accusations against the Bavarian AfD member of state parliament Daniel Halemba are now also occupying the party's federal leadership. According to a spokesperson on Thursday, the federal executive committee will discuss the case at a meeting next Monday evening. According to the "Main-Post", this will also involve possible violations of AfD regulations, which Halemba is accused of as Würzburg AfD district chairman. In Bavaria, the AfD as a whole party is being monitored by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

The federal executive committee had "routinely" requested statements from the AfD state executive committee in Bavaria, the AfD district executive committee in Lower Franconia, the state executive committee of the Junge Alternative and one of the members concerned "in order to be able to rule out any violations of the party's rules in this matter", the spokesperson announced. The"Main-Post" had previously reported on this. These statements had been received in full and were now being evaluated. "Part of this evaluation will also include the allegations and investigations against a member of our party concerned."

The public prosecutor's office in Würzburg is investigating Halemba for incitement of the people and the use of symbols of anti-constitutional organizations. The student, who last lived in Würzburg, rejects the accusations. In the meantime, Halemba had been arrested on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by the Würzburg district court. However, the warrant was then suspended subject to conditions: Reporting requirements and a ban on contact with other suspects. These include members of the "Teutonia Prag zu Würzburg fraternity", to which Halemba himself also belongs.
