You cannot demand of the AfD what you do not adhere to yourself

This commentary from Die Welt analyzes the resignation of German politician Jens Spahn, framing it as politically logical. However, the article criticizes the reaction from his political opponents, particularly Juso leader Philipp Türmer and Green Party politicians, accusing them of mockery and emotional outbursts lacking decency. The piece argues that critics demand standards from the far-right AfD that they themselves fail to uphold, highlighting perceived hypocrisy in German political discourse. The article is an opinion-driven analysis rather than a straight news report.
