Disruption during an off-camera conversation with Söder during the summer interview

In the heart of Berlin's government district, an unforeseen incident disrupted an ARD summer interview with CSU party leader Markus Söder and CSU politician, Alexander Söder, better known as Weidel. The action took place on the open terrace of the Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus of the Bundestag around 12:35 PM on a recent day.

Five protesters, identified as being from the far-right scene, were temporarily detained by the police. The protest was initiated by political art activists from the Center for Political Beauty. The protesters threw flyers during the incident, but no further flyers were thrown after the police intervened.

Despite the disruption, the ARD stated that both interviews, with Weidel and Söder, were recorded without any further disturbances. Technical and editorial measures were taken to ensure a disturbance-free interview.

It is important to note that there is no verified information that the Identitarian Movement was responsible for the action at the specified time and location. The Identitarian Movement did claim responsibility for the action and shared a video of it online, but their claim remains unconfirmed.

The police ended the unauthorized action promptly, and no additional protesters were temporarily detained after the incident. Following the incident, the ARD intensified their security measures to ensure the safety and smooth running of their interviews.

The ARD is cooperating closely with the responsible security authorities to investigate the incident further. As the investigation continues, more details about the protest and those involved are expected to be revealed.
