Investigation into Nazi slogan - Police investigate Nazi slogan at AfD event
Due to a Nazi slogan being called out at an AfD event in Freiberg, the police are investigating. This involves the suspicion of using symbols of unconstitutional organizations, the police stated today. At the "AfD parliamentary fraction on site" event with party leaders Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel, the call "Alles für Deutschland" was allegedly made from the audience on Saturday.
This slogan was once prominently displayed on the service dagger of the SA, the paramilitary combat organization of the Nazi party NSDAP. Thuringia's AfD state leader Björn Höcke was recently sentenced to fines twice for using this slogan.
According to the police, up to 2,000 people participated in the AfD event. A counter-protest under the motto "Freiberg has no interest in fascism" reportedly united around 100 to 125 people.
The police took out an insult complaint on Saturday and discovered several "left-motivated graffiti" on traffic signs.
The investigation into the AfD event in Saxony's Freiberg is centered around extremist sentiments, specifically the use of Nazi symbols. Tino Chrupalla and Alice Weidel, leaders of the AfD parliamentary fraction, were present at the event. The alleged use of the slogan "Alles für Deutschland" at the event has raised concerns about extremism. Following the event, a demonstration against fascism was held in Freiberg, attracting approximately 100 to 125 people.
