German Far-Right Lawmaker Charged with Nazi Salute

German Far-Right Lawmaker Charged with Nazi Salute

A man named Matthias Moosdorf, who is a politician from a far-right party in Germany, is in trouble for doing a Nazi salute.

This happened near a very important building called the Reichstag.

The police say he did this on purpose so others could see.

But Moosdorf says he didn't do it and thinks people are just trying to make trouble for his party.

In Germany, doing Nazi salutes is against the law.

The party he is in, called AfD, has been called a group that supports extreme right-wing ideas.

They are also becoming more popular in Germany.
