Bundestag lifts immunity of Augsburg AfD MP!

Bundestag lifts immunity of Augsburg AfD MP!

On November 6, 2025, the lifting of the immunity of the Augsburg AfD MP Scheirich caused a stir in the Bundestag. The factions of the Union, SPD, Alliance 90/Greens and Die Linke voted unanimously for this step, while the AfD faction abstained. Parliament made this significant decision to authorize judicial search and seizure orders against Scheirich. He is not only a member of the Bundestag Committee for Economic Affairs and Energy, but also a deputy member of the Environment Committee and has made a name for himself as deputy chairman of the Augsburg-City district association of the AfD.

Awareness around Scheirich grew when he sent a request to the Federal Ministry of Labor to determine the most common first names of citizens' benefit recipients. This action drew widespread criticism and raised questions about his political agenda. Now the above-mentioned measures against him can be fully enforced, which seems to many observers to be an important turning point in the political climate. The Bundestag had already canceled some recommendations for resolutions on the immunity of MPs in a meeting on June 26, 2025, where the AfD was always in the position of abstaining while other parliamentary groups contributed their votes. bundestag.de reports that immunity issues were also on the agenda in other cases involving AfD members of the Bundestag, such as Stephan Brandner and Martin Sichert.

A look at the AfD position battles

Scheirich is not only involved at the federal level, but also has an active influence on Augsburg's local politics. He is also deputy district chairman of the AfD Swabia and truly holds a key position in the AFC. His actions and his political demands reflect the prosaic concerns of this party, which at times causes controversy.

With permission to take legal action against Scheirich, a new era of political clash could now begin. The current political situation shows that there are signs of change. How voters react to the latest developments remains to be seen. Another point is the internal dynamics of the AfD itself, which, according to the latest decisions, could have an active impact not only on the Bundestag, but also on the grassroots.

What does this mean for the AfD?

The public perception of the party leadership is not only influenced by such decisions, but is a shot across the bow for all chaotic currents within the party. As the political climate in Germany remains very tense, the AfD could face both internal and external challenges in the coming period. Whatever these coming months bring, the developments surrounding Scheirich are a strong indicator of the direction in which the political landscape could be moving.

In order to stay up to date and follow the profiles of the various political actors, regular political information is crucial. In a rapidly changing political environment, as is the case in Germany, the coming steps and reactions remain extremely explosive, both in the Bundestag and at the regional level.
