Tino Chrupalla with Markus Lanz – attempt at a factual interrogation

Why leave the substantive confrontation to the amateurs? That’s what talk show host Markus Lanz may have thought, who spent yesterday evening trying to get to the bottom of AfD federal spokesman Tino Chrupalla. Lanz wanted to “take advantage of the opportunity to talk a little more intensively about the economy.” For this purpose, the editorial team not only invited the Danish-born Economics Minister of Schleswig Holstein, Claus Ruhe Madsen (CDU), but also the journalist Franziska Klemenz and the successful writer and East Germany explainer Lukas Rietzschel. They didn’t want to spend the evening without an AfD meta-discussion, and so Lanz began with the news of the court confirmation of the classification of the AfD youth organization Junge Alternative as “certainly right-wing extremist”.
