Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland party has expelled a member of its state parliamentary group in Berlin because of a photograph showing the politician posing in front of wine bottles with Hitler labels. On a shelf in the background are four bottles, each with a label showing a picture of Adolf Hitler. AfD’s Berlin state and parliamentary group head, Georg Pazderski, said the photos were unacceptable. He said the Berlin AfD had also begun proceedings to expel Bießmann from the party. Speaking this week, the co-leader of the federal party, Jörg Meuthen, said that some of the party’s “problematic” members had been persuaded to leave.
