A German MEP who addressed an anti-LGBTQ+ rally in Lithuania is from “a circle of Putin’s friends”, MEP Rasa Juknevičienė said on Facebook on Sunday.
Bernhard Zimniok, an MEP from the right-wing populist party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), addressed the rally on Saturday in a pre-recorded speech that was broadcasted after the address by Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda. I will remind [you] that the president of the Lithuanian Republic spoke yesterday in the company of this character, Juknevičienė posted on Facebook on Sunday.
