Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD)<\/a> has called for a new television interview to be held, after protesters on Sunday drowned leader Alice Weidel<\/a>‘s “summer interview” in Berlin.<\/p>\n Each year, broadcaster ARD holds annual televised question and answer sessions with the country’s main political parties.<\/p>\n However, as Weidel was preparing to begin the interview on a terrace in Berlin’s government quarter, demonstrators arrived nearby.<\/p>\n They broke into loud singing, dancing, and chanting and made it difficult for Weidel to hear the questions she was being asked.<\/p>\n “In such a situation, ARD should have moved to a studio to ensure a fair, uninterrupted interview,” Markus Frohnmaier, the AfD’s deputy parliamentary group leader, told news portal Politico.<\/p>\n “I expect the conversation to be repeated under fair conditions,” Weidel said.<\/p>\n
