During an interview with Alice Weidel, members of the Corner Chor protested by playing a rewritten song, Schei AfD Jodler, from a powerful sound system across the river. This disruption was orchestrated by the Centre for Political Beauty, surprising the choir and the authorities. Weidel struggled to conduct the interview amidst the noise while accusing the choir of being state-funded. The action led to claims of victimization by the party leaders, who sought a rerun of the interview, which was denied. The event emphasized the classification of the AfD as rightwing extremists.
Members of the Corner Chor's mobile phones began to ping with alerts as their song in protest at her far-right party, Schei AfD Jodler, blasted out from a 100,000-watt sound system.
The sweet-sounding 19th-century Styrian Christmas yodel, which Corner Chor had rewritten as a three-voice protest song against the far right, managed to drown out much of the hour-long exchange.
Ruch called the action less of a disruption and more of an embellishment, asserting that the state had classified the AfD as rightwing extremists earlier this year.
