Ingolstadt, Bavaria – Tino Krupala, co-chairman of the far-right party “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), was reportedly attacked during an election event held earlier this afternoon. The incident occurred in the city of Ingolstadt, as Krupala attended a rally ahead of the upcoming local elections in Bavaria, scheduled for Sunday. According to sources within the party, the AfD leader was subsequently transported to a hospital by ambulance.
Reports from the German media indicate that Krupala was accompanied by four bodyguards as he mingled with party supporters and posed for photographs with them. However, during this interaction, the co-chairman suddenly fell ill. Police and security guards quickly intervened, escorting him to a police car before transferring him to an awaiting ambulance that transported him to a local hospital for medical attention.
In a video released by the leaders of the Bavarian branch of the AfD later in the evening, they claimed that the incident constituted a “violent attack” on Krupala. Blaming “the entire political system” for fostering an environment of incitement, they expressed concern over the rising violence directed towards their party. The leaders called for a change in the political landscape through the upcoming election.
Sunday’s vote in Bavaria holds significance for the AfD, as the party has been experiencing a surge in popularity across Germany in recent weeks. In Bavaria, they are vying for second place against the current ruling party, the CDU, as well as the “Greens” and the “Free Voters” who are part of the existing coalition.
Unconfirmed rumors circulating on social media, propagated by individuals allegedly close to the AfD, suggested that Krupala was attacked with a syringe during the event. It is claimed that an unknown person injected him with an unknown substance, which subsequently left him feeling weak. At present, Krupala is receiving medical care at Lehshagha Hospital, according to the Bavarian Broadcasting Network. The police have confirmed that they conducted an operation during the election rally, although the nature of this action remains unclear.
