Duel cu săbii între doi politicieni germani. Provocarea a venit după un scandal cu alcool

Two politicians from the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party are set to engage in a traditional sword duel after a heated party meeting. They claim the duel is a private matter, not a political dispute resolution. Matthias Büschges and Jeremy Franosch will participate in a 'Mensur', a traditional fencing duel common in German student fraternities. The conflict arose during a meeting to establish candidates for regional elections, which escalated due to alcohol consumption. The duel highlights internal conflicts within the AfD in North Rhine-Westphalia, with Büschges aligned with one faction and Franosch with another. Despite the context, both deny the duel's political implications, framing it as a sporting event. This incident follows another violent episode involving AfD staff in the Bundestag, requiring police intervention.
