The German state of Baden-Württemberg's deputy speaker stepped down after admitting he drew a swastika on a ballot beside an AfD lawmaker's name. Daniel Born said he had made a "serious mistake" during a vote.
I am pretty sure he stepped down to protect his parliamentary group.
If he hadn’t taken one for the team the AfD would’ve scandalised this topic even more and may have damaged the SPD and / or the Green party.
Why did he admit to it? It doesn’t seem like they would’ve figured it out if he hadn’t since it was a secret vote.
