Update 7. May, at 15.50 PM: The horror of the Germany song incident around the AfD group Chairman Björn Höcke is still large. Now Alexander Gauland has taken a stance on this. “I think the singing of the first verse of the Germany hymn is politically unwise.

In a letter to Ebner-Steiner Aigner criticised the fact that in the case of an event of the AfD-“wing” at the weekend, the first verse of the “Deutschlandlieds” with the text line “Germany, Germany, had been sung about everything”.
“Both you and your Deputy, and your Parliamentary Secretary and stand in a row with Björn Höcke: It sang, it laughed – everything is documented via Video,” writes Aigner, as the German press Agency was informed on demand. You have this “with dismay” to the knowledge of and wool this to the attention of the Council of Elders of the Landtag. Ebner-Steiner, by themselves, do not sing in the first verse, however, as you can see on the Internet, accessible recording.
“For me, this is more than a sign of Historical amnesia, even more than a mere faux pas”, criticised Aigner. The Nazis would have cared for the song to sing.

The party leadership keeps a distance to him, especially since the protection of the Constitution in his völkisch-national “wings” as a suspected case has been classified. His Fans celebrate him all the more. 500 came to Meet on Saturday for “wings”, including some members of the national Executive and the Parliament group.
AfD: Höcke, Hungary’s Prime Minister
Höcke ennobles speaks as the last one this afternoon, and calls for a “spiritual turn” in Germany. A bit to the “memory of political change reminds to 180 degrees”, he had in his much-criticized Dresdner speech spoken. At the time, he called the Berlin Holocaust memorial “monument of shame”. Since then, he is considered to be rabble-rousers.

On the one hand, she shows full Compliance with the “wings” and railed against the impending adjustment of the AfD to the Establishment. On the other hand, she wants “to be Brave” in the group””.
Regensburg “wings”-man Benjamin Nolte suggests, the incompatibility list, the party to be abolished. The at least one NPD was last updated-near faction of employees stumbled upon someone “, we can use in our fight for freedom is good”. Nolte is also the one who is the Meeting a kind of bracket. “The heads of the ‘wing’ like to sit in the East,” he says. “But the heart of the ,wing’ strikes in the South.” Again Applause. In the hall an says: “The Benni, the beautiful.”
