Overview

• The AfD parliamentary group filed an organ dispute on July 16 to contest Landtag President Ilse Aigner’s decision to bar Bundestag member Tobias Teich from the July 22 summer reception
• Aigner cited Teich’s prior right-wing extremist statements on X as justification under her discretion to uphold the nonpartisan spirit of the event
• Court officials have accepted the dispute but indicated there is no special urgency, keeping Teich off the guest list until a ruling is issued
• Schloss Schleißheim will host about 3,500 invitees including politicians, judiciary, religious representatives and volunteers, with each MP allowed to propose guests subject to presidential approval
• The case highlights persistent tensions over the Landtag president’s neutrality, MPs’ invitation rights and efforts to guard against extremist influence within parliamentary events
