Maximilian Müger, an AfD politician, resigned from the party and its parliamentary group following the circulation of a video showing him with an assault rifle at a Polish shooting range. Despite the Interior Minister's criticism, no formal investigation is underway.
Müger, who had already surrendered various political positions, faced pressure to step down after the video emerged. The video, which Müger claimed was shared accidentally, called for 'free guns for free citizens' and sparked immediate condemnation from the AfD.
The concerning footage, which Müger explained was for private use and under supervision, led to his swift departure to avoid potential expulsion proceedings. The controversial video also drew sharp rebuke from Hessen's Interior Minister, who voiced concerns over the normalization of weapon violence in the context of migration policy discussions.
