German politician steps down over swastika on ballot
-
The big deal is that he broke the law. In some countries that’s the end of a political career.
When is half of the Bundestag stepping down then? They broke all sorts of rules but sometimes got rewarded instead.

I don't know what the fuss is about. It'd be a different matter if the person who had drawn the swastika had voted for the AFD candidate. However, clearly this was done in a disparaging manner

Why did he admit to it? It doesn't seem like they would've figured it out if he hadn't since it was a secret vote.

Seems like he should stay in goverment and fix the law then. Identifying nazis as nazis should not be a crime.

wrote last edited by [email protected]How does one discern support or protest. 2 people can stand on the street holding a sign with a sign with a politicians face and a swastika background.
One could mean this is a NAZI, don't vote for him.
The other could mean this is a NAZI, vote for him.
Politician says oh I don't identify as a Nazi
, at their rallies and you legally have a Nazi party running openly again.Note, obviously you could hang flags and banners on your house, business, etc... because it is just saying that guy is a spade.

The Swastika is a forbidden symbol in Germany. That’s why he gets grilled. If he would have written “Those are Nazis” he probably would have gotten away.

Sadly Germany only seems to be one of those coutries of you're not on the right.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Why? He draw a swastika next to the name of a fascist. Is this the kind of thing that would typically result in prison time?
