Overview

• The AfD filed for a parliamentary inquiry into possible failures by authorities related to the killing of 16‑year‑old Liana in Friedland.
• AfD leader Klaus Wichmann said the goal is to clarify whether human, systemic or governmental errors occurred and emphasized the opposition’s investigative powers.
• The party holds 17 seats and cannot reach the one‑fifth threshold without partners, and the CDU has stated it will not back the AfD motion.
• Wichmann offered to withdraw the AfD request if the CDU submits its own inquiry and said the AfD would also support a Green‑initiated committee.
• The CDU has requested file access and posed 147 questions to the state government, while investigators maintain the suspect’s DNA link, psychiatric detention and schizophrenia diagnosis, and note his rejected asylum status after a court denied deportation custody.
