Armament and remigration: outrage over AfD top man Siegmund because of armament statement
Should armaments be used in the course of deportation offensives? Statements made by Ulrich Siegmund in Saxony-Anhalt have caused outrage. The SPD is talking about a political threat.
Ulrich Siegmund, the AfD's top candidate in Saxony-Anhalt, has linked the production of military goods to the state's planned deportation efforts, sparking sharp criticism. Siegmund stated that the production of military goods could be necessary for "remigration" and internal security. The SPD's parliamentary group 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 projects, also criticized Siegmund, with co-federal leader Fabio De Masi saying the AfD was seeking to provoke rather than govern.
