AfD: Siegmund sees armaments as possible help for "remigration"
During his election campaign, AfD's top candidate Ulrich Siegmund promised a deportation offensive. In an interview, he now links this to the expansion of armaments - and causes outrage.
Sachsen-Anhalt's AfD top candidate Ulrich Siegmund has sparked sharp criticism by linking the production of military goods to the state's planned deportation efforts. Siegmund stated that the production of military goods is necessary for "remigration" and internal security. The SPD parliamentary group leader Katja Pähle and Fabio De Masi, co-federal chairman of the BSW, have strongly criticized Siegmund's comments, with De Masi accusing the AfD of seeking to provoke rather than govern.
The comments were made in reference to the planned settlement of Israeli arms company Elbit in Sachsen-Anhalt.
