Almost the entire AfD parliamentary group was absent during Zelenskyj’s speech.

1. Of course they were. Their employer doesn’t like when they fraternize with his rivals.

2. Opposing migrants doesn’t require desiring to be a Russian puppet.

3. BSW as well, which was expected sincd Sarahhh Wagenknecht doesn’t usually participate in the lowly business which is her mandate.

   I wonder if they had been absent if the speaker had been Vladimir Putin.

   Shame on them, ************

4. These guys *want* Russia to win. Ifnit was simply a matter of funding they would stay and show support at least.

   You can be damn sure they’d be there if Putin was speaking.

5. Doesn’t surprise me, that’s why they call themselves AfD.

   Abwesende für Deutschland

6. That also happened in Portugal during a video call, but it was the communist party that left

7. Can anyone explain why they are so positive towards Russia? I see that the former east Germany voted in favour. Is it antipathy towards the west or nostalgia?

8. Well well would you see AfD and BSW the biggest Putin suckers left when the President of Ukraine visits the Bundestag how surprising.

   Both parties are a shame for Germany.

9. And yet the centre and left refuse to move on immigration, which is literally the only thing the far right has traction with

   They’re handing over power to a bunch of Putin puppets because they can’t admit they were wrong about immigration and change course 

10. Incredible. AfD are supporters of imperialist war then I guess?

11. and that is the declaration of allegiance from AfD.

12. Shame!

13. That tells you all you need to know about them

14. Far-right 🤝 Far-left

    Shilling for Russia

15. “Fun fact” the guys from AfD that actually were sitting there just got the message too late. No joke
    I hate those motherfuckers so much.

16. Traitorous snakes they are.

17. Loyal subjects to the Czar.
    [Who is pleased with his German lackeys to the extent
    that he publicly declared he would continue his support.](https://old.reddit.com/r/de/comments/1dd7zfo/keine_anzeichen_von_neonazismus_putin_k%C3%BCndigt/)

    For sake of completeness, it wasn’t just AfD but all 20 % of Russian paid parties abstained
    during Zelensky’s speech, including BSW, the tankie party.

18. Proof that Ukranian gouvernment is not neo-nazi as Putin claims.

19. AfD will react in the same way if it was your country that was somehow invaded by Russia.

    Actually they would probably betray Germany too, Russophiles in Eastern countries have certainly betrayed their own countries to aid the Russian invader before. (and Georgia’s still do it).

21. How are they allowed to do this? Like isn’t it their job to attend? Is there no repercussion? This is why I think politics is a joke

22. Zelensky denazified the Bundestag.

23. fuck russia and fuck everyone who doesnt want a free ukraine
