Investigation into Alleged Assault on AfD Co-Leader Raises Questions

Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) co-leader Tino Chrupalla was hospitalized after an alleged syringe attack during an election campaign event in Bavaria. The attack comes after credible intelligence of an imminent attack on the other AfD co-leader, Alice Weidel. While police have confirmed an "incident," they have not definitively stated it was an attack. Eyewitnesses claim a syringe was found at the scene, but police have not corroborated this. Attacks and acts of intimidation against AfD members have become common in recent years, with the party being the main victims of political violence in Germany.
