After AfD Incident: Bavarian State Parliament Regulates Closing Remarks Anew - Bavaria's Landtag Tightens Rules After AfD Leader's Outburst
Bavaria's Landtag has introduced new regulations following an incident involving AfD parliamentary group leader Katrin Ebner-Steiner. The change comes after she disregarded warnings and continued speaking during closing remarks, damaging the parliament's reputation, according to CSU leader Ilse Aigner.
Traditionally, Landtag presidents, government representatives, and opposition leaders in Bavaria could speak outside the agenda in the last sessions. However, this practice has been altered following the incident involving Ebner-Steiner. She used this tradition to criticize other parties and migrants before the summer break, leading to Aigner, who has served in various parliaments since 1990, to declare it a low point.
The new regulation, passed by the Council of Elders, aims to prevent such incidents in the future. It involves a change in the format of closing remarks, ensuring speakers adhere to their allotted time and respect the rules of the parliament.
