BERLIN - Germany’s hard right Alternative for Germany party fired an official on Monday who had been caught on a hidden camera discussing gassing refugees.In footage, recorded secretly by ProSieben television in February, Christian Lueth, then a party spokesman, was filmed in a Berlin cafe talking to someone he believed to be a sympathiser about the challenges the AfD faced.“Because then things go better for the AfD. We can still shoot them all afterwards,” he said.
German media reported on Monday that Lueth was dismissed as an employee of the party’s parliamentary group. The group’s spokesman was not immediately available to comment. Neither Lueth nor Licentia could immediately be reached. The AfD entered Germany’s parliament in an election in 2017 and is now the largest party opposing Angela Merkel’s government, a right-left grand coalition.
