Rüstung und Remigration: AfD-Spitzenkandidat sorgt mit Rüstungsaussage für Empörung
Sollen Rüstungsgüter im Zuge von Abschiebeoffensiven eingesetzt werden? Aussagen von Ulrich Siegmund in Sachsen-Anhalt sorgen für Empörung. Die SPD spricht von einer politischen Drohung.
AfD's top candidate Ulrich Siegmund sparked outrage with his remarks on weaponry production during a press conference at the Magdeburg State Parliament. He stated that the planned establishment of an Israeli weapons corporation in the region would require appropriate support for the upcoming mass deportation and expulsion offensive, including defense and internal stability.
SPD Landtag Group chair Katja Pähle described Siegmund's comments as a new level of political rhetoric, equating it to violence as a tool for politics. The Social Democratic Party (SPD) faction leader accused the AfD of using provocation to justify their stance. The BSW (Bundessozialistische Bewegung) strongly criticized the AfD for promoting high-technology weaponry and their alleged support for the Israeli Elbit arms company.
The BSW wrote that the AfD seeks to govern without genuine intention and is desperate to find a way out through provocation. Siegmund responded to a question about the planned establishment of an Israeli weapons corporation, stating that the party does not automatically condemn the production of weapons but will critically assess the conditions under which they are made.
He stressed the importance of considering whether involvement in foreign conflicts would be justified.
