Former AfD MP Birgit Malsack-Winkemann has denied any involvement in plans to storm the German Bundestag and told a Frankfurt court on Wednesday that she was not cooperating in a new constitution.
What she wrote on the pieces of paper seized during house searches was nothing more than brainstorming, Malsack-Winkemann said on the 21st day of the trial. “The claims of the Federal Prosecutor General that I had worked something out and that the Council already had a basic constitution are not true.”
The 60-year-old is accused of smuggling other suspects into the Bundestag and exploring the building with them. She is said to have been part of the so-called Council of the Association. The group planned an armed storming of the Bundestag to arrest members of parliament and bring about the overthrow of the political system in Germany (see video above).
“Alliance must do everything”
“I don’t know how many times I’ve said it, but I probably can’t say it enough for it to sink in: The Alliance should do everything.” military alliance called the ‘Alliance’ – the group assumed that systemic change was imminent, brought about by this alliance, Malsack-Winkemann described.
She also had repeated quarrels with Rüdiger von Pescatore, the alleged head of the military wing. “We would be the last two to plan anything together.” He probably wanted to exclude her from the group. Eventually, however, the military wing was completely separated.
26 conspirators in court
In Frankfurt, nine defendants are accused of being members of a terrorist organization or having supported one. Proceedings are also currently underway in Munich and Stuttgart. A total of 26 suspected conspirators are on trial.
