"These stupid politics of coming to grips with the past cripple us - we need nothing other than a 180-degree reversal on the politics of remembrance"

Yeah that doesn't sound deeply suspect..

Still, he has form..


A branch leader for the party, Björn Höcke, called Berlin's Holocaust memorial a "monument of shame" and in an interview with the Wall Street Journal rejected the notion that Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was "absolutely evil."

Like I said, not anti-semitic at all, clearly a paragon of virtue (.....).

I dont think the guy Hocke has his head buried in the sand ,nor has he denied anything in Germanys past .  What he is saying is that Nationalism in Germany is held back because of it . He has a point ,though of course we must remember that Nationalism in eastern Europe (the AfD are predominantly popular in the old East  Germany) does have an ugly side to it with anti immigration ,anti Muslim views .
I for one am glad we leave such alliances behind us in the New Year . Who in their right minds would vote to join a political bloc where you have to sit in a parliament with such parties ?

I didn't bother wasting my time with further reading .

Maybe the first link was to the wrong story, but the second oe is not;

Jewish organizations and politicians have expressed horror after Thuringian AfD leader Björn Höcke called for an end to the culture of Shoah remembrance. The timing of his remarks was particularly provocative.
Jewish groups have reacted with anger and shock after a local leader of the right-wing populist party Alternative for Germany (AfD) attacked Germany's national Holocaust memorial and the country's devotion to teaching its citizens about Nazi genocide.

"It is deeply outrageous and completely unacceptable to describe the Berlin Holocaust Memorial as Björn Höcke did as a 'monument of shame,'" the president of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, Josef Schuster, said in a statement. "With these anti-Semitic and extremely misanthropic remarks, the AfD is showing its true face. I would not have believed that it was possible for a politician in Germany to say such things 70 years after the Shoah."

Schuster's words came the morning after Höcke, the leader of anti-immigration AfD in the eastern German state of Thuringia, said that German history was being made "appalling and laughable." Höcke added: "These stupid politics of coming to grips with the past cripple us - we need nothing other than a 180-degree reversal on the politics of remembrance."

The other story was supposed to be about some terrorist idiot in the AfD.

There are no excuses for such comments and the guy has been sacked . Is there a story here somewhere ?

Is this a joke ?  I read your first link and the only connection to the AfD was that the guy accused was from  ' The same constituency ' as a leader of the party . I didn't bother wasting my time with further reading .
I dare say the AfD like all parties have their own fruitcakes but this guy isnt one of them .

Maybe the EU are getting worried .The AfD are now the main opposition in the Bundestag ,have connections with other right wing and nationalists parties across Europe and with their anti immigration and anti Muslim pro Israel stance are in direct conflict with Brussels . What happens in Berlin has consequences across the EU and it is no surprise that there is mudslinging in their direction .
