Petr Bystron denies allegations of accepting 25,000 euros from Voice of Europe, labeling it a 'defamation campaign.'
Czech authorities hold purportedly incriminating recordings but do not plan to release them; MEPs demand an urgent investigation into alleged pro-Kremlin propaganda by European politicians.
AfD co-chairperson Tino Chrupalla emphasizes the presumption of innocence for Bystron due to lack of evidence, stating they take his word more in the current situation.
Political scientist Wolfgang Schroeder predicts the scandal won't adversely affect AfD; he suggests the party tends to gain strength from such conflict situations due to developing a 'victim culture.'
