Overview

• Bundestag member Micha Fehre was dispatched to mediate the dispute but his appeal for open discussion failed to defuse tensions.
• Local chairman Main Müller alleged weeks of pressure via forged emails and edited voice messages, and his microphone was cut after about nine minutes.
• Bundestag MP Dirk Brandes seized an audience microphone, and state legislator Omid Najafi shouted "Halt du die Fresse" at Müller and urged him outside.
• Five members of the Goslar board have petitioned the state party to trigger formal arbitration because they say cooperation with Müller has broken down.
• The confrontation was filmed at participants’ urging by a YouTuber as a visibly stunned audience questioned how the party could recruit in this state.
