to order, There are many, the choice of an AfD representative, albeit a moderate, not be able to agree on. You say: Are you of the AfD this Item, normalized to you. On the other hand, those who want to finish the Chapter, finally, because according to the rules of procedure of the right-wing populists of the Post. And the victim role, you don't want to be the AfD.

And so what is happening tomorrow in the early afternoon under the dome of the Reichstag building is, a direction decision. A decision on the future handling of the AfD. One and a half years after the right-wing populists have been set for the first Time set foot in the chamber.

Who Mariana Harder-Kühnel?

the woman in this dispute, inflamed, have to object to many of the members personally a little. In contrast to Albrecht Glaser, the AfD before, as a Bundestag Vice-President for election and the three times, because of Islamophobic Statements have been rejected. Glaser had agreed on the Islam in the basic law guaranteed right to freedom of religion.

Harder-Kühnel is committed when one meets you, First of all, "deep Conviction," to the basic law. Anti-constitutional Statements are not known. The lawyer's Secretary in the Bundestag. That is, you are sitting in some meetings already at the top next to the President of the Bundestag or its representatives and controlled, for example, the observance of the speaking time.

The mother of three children, and a lawyer makes a family policy. In her Talk she calls for the ban on abortions after section 219a advertising. She believes that the freedom of the wife in Germany by the "mass is threatened by immigration". And they complained that in Germany, parents had to work forced. Harder - Kühnel's called "pressure to the care of a third party".

In the Bundestag acts in a Harder-Kühnel decided, again and again, she rises in her Talk the voice. In a personal interview, the small woman with the dark brown hair of an almost timid impression. Sometimes she even talks about "the candidate", if she means herself. She says that there are "no concerns about the candidate".

Harder-Kühnel has met previously with representatives of all the groups. Only in the case of the Left, no one was ready for it. Harder-Kühnel has experienced the conversations with the Union, the Greens, the FDP and the SPD are positive. But you know, Who right at the end against you, do not do this because your Person. He does it because of their party.

the chances of that are?

divorce, such As in the election of Harder-Kühnels even within the groups in the minds, in the FDP. As one of the First well-known FDP party leader Christian Lindner that he will vote for you. He wanted to provide the AfD an opportunity to portray themselves as a Martyr. Also his colleague, Wolfgang Kubicki, made it clear that the party affiliation of the Harder-can't Kühnel not be a reason to choose you.

The FDP inner politician Konstantin Kuhle says: "It is now clear that the AfD scorned the parliamentary government and the Bundestag merely as a stage for your Social Media activities." It was the wrong Signal in bourgeois circles, to reward the AfD for their behavior with the Post.

Union leader Ralph Brinkhaus, as on Tuesday it became known, Harder-to select Kühnel. Many in the Union are likely to join him. From the SPD, it was, you will not be voting closed. Some are likely to contain. A group of twelve young Deputy announced, Harder-Kühnel is selectable. "The AfD from splits, borders and races", they explain.

the majority of the Left is to expect rejection. The parliamentary Manager of the Greens, Britta Haßelmann said, your group will give to the personnel, no recommendation to the members. In the end, it would depend on how many of the members that voted so far, with no can now, with one abstention, by rings.

What other concerns are there?

A question of the Harder-Kühnel more often, is: Would you distribute against members of their own party, Right? It is a conflict of interest, the hits potentially all of the Bundestag Vice-President. But at the AfD, there are concrete examples from the recent time, where someone from the Bureau in a single step. President of the Bundestag Wolfgang Schäuble rebuked AfD group's boss, Alice rye, after they had spoken of the "head-scarf girls, and therefore the knife men, and the other punks".

Bundestag Vice-President Claudia Roth of the Greens intervened, as the AfD man Thomas Seitz wanted to alienate his allotted time purpose, a minute of silence for the in Wiesbaden, Germany killed Susanna F. to hold. In addition, the AfD is one of the factions with the most. In the case of foul-mouthed Utterances Harder would have to intervene-Kühnel, if necessary.

The politician wants to make it credible that you would do that also. May be even stricter than the other German Bundestag Vice-President. If that's true but, it could only show the practice. One thing is clear: It would bring a Harder-Kühnel into trouble, when, under your presidency, the AfD's Deputy in addition behave.

How the AfD behaves?

For the case that Harder to fail Kühnel, threatens the AfD with a claim. She also plans, in the future each week a different candidate for the election. That would stop the operation in the Bundestag and the climate is more poison.

Already, the AfD is trying to the other groups perform. Recently, she wanted to leave with a sheep jump will find that there are too few members in the Parliament, but remained by themselves in the Cafeteria sit – in to press the result. Some of the male AfD-members of the sexist heckling come when women are at the lectern.

politicians from the other factions make no bones about it, as you can see, the AfD-members: as a right-wing radical. The sound is unforgiving, especially since the part of the observation by the constitutional protection.
