Access Denied to AfD Employee with Bandido Background in Bundestag

An employee of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) from North Rhine-Westphalia, who was previously active in the banned biker gang Bandidos, has been denied access permission to the Bundestag. This decision is due to his violent past, raising concerns about his suitability for access to one of Germany's key political institutions.

The decision to deny him a house pass reflects the Bundestag's stance on ensuring that all staff and visitors meet the necessary security standards. This measure could also be seen as part of AfD's efforts to distance itself from extremist elements while simultaneously facing internal challenges.
