Tino Chrupalla is one of the two co-leaders of German AfD (“Alternative for Germany”), a conservative anti-mass immigration party.
On Wednesday Chrupalla was taken to the hospital after a “violent incident” at an election rally.
German newspaper Junge Freiheit has reported (https://jungefreiheit.de/politik/deutschland/2023/chrupalla-sta-koerperverletzung/) that he was attacked with some sort of needle or syringe, possibly poisoned.
AfD is currently polling as the second largest party in Germany.
In spite of being one of the largest parties in the country, AfD leaders are systematically intimidated, threatened and physically attacked:

Even Germany’s own intelligence service has attacked (https://rumble.com/v2rl73k-german-spy-chief-smears-conservative-afd-party.html) AfD.
After a recent election in Thuringia, where AfD were successful, the authorities reported (https://rmx.news/germany/germany-may-reverse-democratic-election-in-thuringia-after-afd-politician-scores-landmark-victory/) they would attempt to overturn the election to keep AfD out.
Isn’t it fortunate that we live in a secure, democratic Europe?
