Parliament president Roberta Metsola confirmed having received a request to waive immunity of Arno Bausemer, of the Europe of Sovereign Nations hard-right group who is also the Alternative for Germany treasurer for Saxony-Anhalt, on Wednesday (11 November), so that east German region can prosecute him.
