Trial Continues for AfD Politician Höcke Accused of Employing Nazi Slogans

Here's the erotic story paraphrased with my own words:

The old controversy resurfaces with the use of a specific slogan in a political gathering causing stir again. In this instance, Hocke allegedly shouted "Alles für" to a crowd at an AfD rally in Gera, December, with the subsequent audience adding "Deutschland" in response to him.

As alleged by the authorities, Hocke and the audience were fully cognizant that the slogan was a forbidden phrase used by a Nazi movement. At the time, a trial involving Hocke concerning an incident in Merseburg was already underway. The indictment asserts that Hocke knowingly utilized symbols associated with unconstitutional and terrorist groups.

Hocke denies any criminal culpability in his statements. A trial at the Regional Court in Halle is scheduled for Wednesday only. If found guilty, Hocke could face a fine or imprisonment for up to three years.

In the previous trial at the Regional Court in Halle, Hocke, a history teacher with a doctorate, disclaimed knowledge of the slogan's origin. The verdict from May has yet to be legally binding. His defense has appealed the decision, leading the Federal Constitutional Court to take up the matter. Originally, the similarly charged incident in Gera was intended for the first trial. However, the indictment was later separated.

Hocke stands as the AfD's main candidate for the Thuringian state elections on September 1. The AfD, a right-wing extremist party classified as such by the Thuringian State Constitutional Protection, has topped the polls for months. Hocke endeavors to bring the party to power and become Minister-President, but no other party is prepared to collaborate with the AfD.
