Daniel Born

Daniel Born is a German politician from the Social Democratic Party (SPD) who served as the Vice President of the Baden-Württemberg State Parliament. He recently garnered media attention for his controversial actions during a secret vote, where he noted a swastika symbol next to the name of an Alternative for Germany (AfD) member. Born described this act as a 'spontaneous reaction' to express his opposition to the far-right party, emphasizing that votes for the AfD represent support for right-wing hatred. Following this incident, he announced his resignation from his parliamentary position and his departure from the SPD faction.
