The German Bundestag commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica massacre, a genocide that occurred during the Bosnian War. During the parliamentary session, speeches by two members of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party sparked sharp protests and controversy, as they questioned the characterization of the events as genocide. In response to the disruption and to reaffirm the official stance, Germany's Foreign Minister, Johannes Wadephul, made an unscheduled intervention at the podium to address the remarks and uphold the recognition of the Srebrenica massacre as a genocide. The session also coincided with the burial ceremony in Potocari, honoring the victims of the atrocity.
