Anti-immigrant populist party in Thuringia is staging a prepared political scandal that bodes ill for democracy in Germany .
Alternative for Germany (AfD) received the most votes in state elections here: the party achieved a record 32.8 percent of the vote.
The AfD attempted to take control of the parliament's rules of procedure, using its chairman-by-seniority to paralyze parliament during the next step: electing president.
The new parliament does not yet have a quorum, leading to scenes of chaos and drama.
From the start of the session, the new chairman-by-seniority refused motions from the other parties.
The CDU called it a "power grab" because the "sacred right" of MPs to organize themselves was being denied.
