The Union has spoken out against changes to the seating arrangements in the Bundestag.
Berlin – Parliamentary Managing Director Stefan Müller (CSU) said on Tuesday at the request of the German Press Agency: “The seating arrangement in the German Bundestag is not a carousel that should be turned around at will. There is no conclusive reason to change the familiar seating arrangement. ” The FDP parliamentary group would like to swap places with the Union in the plenary hall of the Bundestag. So far, the AfD sits on the far right – as seen from the President of the Bundestag -, next to it the FDP, then the Union, the Greens, the SPD and on the left the left-wing parliamentary group.
More than a week ago, the FDP parliamentary group said that exploratory talks with the SPD and the Greens were currently a priority for the Liberals. At a later point in time, however, the parliamentary group is definitely aiming to change the seating arrangement, “because we see ourselves as the force of the political center”. In addition, the FDP parliamentary group had had very bad experiences as a neighbor of the AfD in the plenary hall over the past four years. The sayings from the ranks of the AfD parliamentary group are often “simply unbearable”, especially for female MPs. (dpa)
