Armament and Remigration: AfD's Top Candidate Causes Outrage with Armament Statement
Should armaments be used in the course of deportation offensives? Statements from Ulrich Siegmund in Saxony-Anhalt are causing outrage. The SPD is talking about a political threat.
Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD's top candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, has sparked criticism by linking the production of military goods to the state's planned deportation efforts. Siegmund stated that such production could be necessary for "remigration" and internal security. The SPD's parliamentary leader, Katja Pähle, condemned Siegmund's comments as a "political threat" and a sign of totalitarian tendencies.
The BSW, which had considered working with the AfD on specific issues, also criticized Siegmund, with co-federal leader Fabio De Masi saying the party was seeking to provoke rather than govern.
