    Why did he admit to it? It doesn’t seem like they would’ve figured it out if he hadn’t since it was a secret vote.

    I don’t know what the fuss is about. It’d be a different matter if the person who had drawn the swastika had voted for the AFD candidate. However, clearly this was done in a disparaging manner

    He drew a swastika next to a AfD candidates name. Not sure what the big deal is, they are straight up Nazi’s. Doesn’t seem like he should feel compelled to resign for calling a spade a spade.

      The big deal is that he broke the law. In some countries that’s the end of a political career.

        Seems like he should stay in goverment and fix the law then. Identifying nazis as nazis should not be a crime.

        Seems like pretty stupid law, feels like this is the type of speech that should be protected

        When is half of the Bundestag stepping down then? They broke all sorts of rules but sometimes got rewarded instead.

    IDK man. AfD are the ones raging against “political correctness” here. Dude decided to not be politically correct and label the Nazis Nazis.
