AfD walkout in protest - an old Nazi strategy

Yesterday at a commemoration in the Bavarian parliament in Munich to honour the victims of the Holocaust the majority of AfD parliamentarians left in protest.

The President of the Israeli Cultural Community in Munich, Charlotte Knobloch in her speech harshly criticised the AfD for making light of the Nazi horror.

Among those AfD members to leave in protest at Knobloch's speech was the party's parliamentary chairperson Katrin Ebner-Steiner.

The Nazis too were experts at dramatic walk-outs on their way to power.

The world seems to be creaking at the seams and in a dangerous place.
