Jurca: The high price of suggesting mass immigration is not an unalloyed good
Since Afternative Fur Deutschland arose as a major party expressing legitimate German concerns about changing demographics, many in the media have crudely attempted to smear them as "Nazis."
This campaign of crass vilification has now led to increasing attacks on AfD politicians, including attempts to take their lives. In the latest case the party's co-leader Tino Chrupalla was apparently attacked by someone with a syringe, although the details remaine unconfirmed.
As reported by DW.com:
The party's co-chairwoman Alice Weidel has also been under attack recently.
DW.com again:
Then, several weeks ago, Andreas Jurca, a candidate for the party in Bavaria, was badly beaten by non-ethnic Germans on the way to a barbecue.
As reported by Brussells Signal:
In recent opinion polls, the AfD has been the second strongest party in Germany with over 20% support.
This campaign of crass vilification has now led to increasing attacks on AfD politicians, including attempts to take their lives. In the latest case the party's co-leader Tino Chrupalla was apparently attacked by someone with a syringe, although the details remaine unconfirmed.
As reported by DW.com:
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party said co-leader Tino Chrupalla was injured in a "violent incident" at a campaign rally Wednesday in the southern German state of Bavaria.
The AfD's national office said Chrupalla had been hospitalized in the city of Ingolstadt, where he had been attending a campaign rally ahead of Sunday's state elections in Bavaria.
A brief police statement said Chrupalla had to be given medical treatment backstage at about 4:30 p.m. (1430 UTC) and was then taken to a hospital, but "an obvious injury was not apparent at that time."
An AfD spokesman told the German dpa news agency late on Wednesday that Chrupalla's condition was stable and that he would be "under intensive medical surveillance overnight."
The party's co-chairwoman Alice Weidel has also been under attack recently.
DW.com again:
Weidel canceled the rally as a precautionary measure, after what her spokeswoman said was an incident two weekends prior.
"Miss Weidel and her family were taken from their private home to a safe place by security authorities because there were growing indications that her family would be attacked," the spokeswoman told the German DPA news agency.
She took the decision to refrain from public appearances as a result.
Instead, she addressed her supporters in a video message, calling on voters to teach the Bavarian state government a lesson in the upcoming Sunday election.
Then, several weeks ago, Andreas Jurca, a candidate for the party in Bavaria, was badly beaten by non-ethnic Germans on the way to a barbecue.
As reported by Brussells Signal:
Jurca, a father of two young children, is the chair of the AfD in the city of Augsburg. He had organised a barbecue to thank his campaign staff for their work. On his way from the celebration, he and a colleague encountered a “large group of individuals from southern regions”, he reported.
“By individuals from southern regions, I don’t mean Spaniards or Italians.”
One of the group asked him: “Aren’t you Andreas Jurca from the posters?” As he appeared to offer to shake Jurca’s hand, simultaneously, an accomplice hit the German politician, while someone yelled “damn Nazi”.
In recent opinion polls, the AfD has been the second strongest party in Germany with over 20% support.
Jurca is a romanian name so maybee that anti-imigration politician should start by moving his lardass back to romania.
ReplyDeleteWhat "chrupalla" is i don't know, but its not german either.
How many of these right wing populists are just the migrants of yesteryear, seeing themselves getting replaced by a new proletariat, and forming pseudo-patriotic rentseeking operations like small right wing parties too small to change anything, but big enough to give themselves an income.
Party politics has always been a grift, unless its in the halls of power.
