AfD leader blames media smear campaign for ‘assassination attempt’ on state chairman
Voice of Europe ^ | 1/8/19

The leader of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party made a video statement on the sickening attack on Frank Magnitz, state chairman of the AfD.

Magnitz was almost beaten to death by three masked thugs in the northern German city of Bremen. Police said they are treating the incident as a “politically motivated act.”

AfD leader Alice Weidel said “she is completely shocked by this abhorrent act” and partly blames the media for it. According to her the media’s smear campaign against her democratically elected party “finally beared fruit”.

Weidel says “this cowardly attack is to be completely condemned” and “this violence has reached a completely new level”.

The AfD leader also refers to a bombing attack in Döbeln, where an explosive device partly destroyed a local AfD party building.

Curious: Do we know if he was beaten by lefty Germans, or by imported Muslims upset at his anti-immigration stance? Both bad, but different. The former is political insanity, the latter is invasion.

That’s the first option... domestic. Whether spontaneous or directed, as you posit, is also of interest.

We have the same thing here. Very few of the Antifa goons are recent immigrants... they are mostly unstable native political creeps who are incited, if not specifically directed, from above.
