The AfD’s youth organisation “Young Alternative” denied “taz” accreditation for its national Congress next weekend in Magdeburg. The Berlin newspaper published on Thursday in your house blog public. Other media are, however, permitted. “The background comments of the competent taz seem to be a correspondent, please YES”, the “taz”. “The shows have, what a difficult relationship to freedom of the press YES, and AfD,” says the Deputy editor-in-chief Barbara Young.

In the past, AfD had always excluded, certain journalists, in principle, a public party events. For example, was denied a Congress of the European ENF group, including the AfD, in January of 2017, all of the “GEZ-media” participation.

The “taz” quoted from a text message from Damian Lohr, the Federal Chairman of the “young Alternative”. The YES advertising, therefore, for fair dealing with all the media were interested in objective reporting , argue the YES-in-chief. “If one speaks in his texts, however, to need a party to defeat, it would need all the forces of the Democrats and it is suggested, therefore, that we anti’s be democratic, then this basis is not given.”

“can you. is dangerous

” keep A daily mirror-request to the radius of the “taz” had the AfD initially unanswered The YES-Chairwoman Lohr wrote on Twitter: “It is amusing: It comes directly to the club ,the freedom of the press’. If a newspaper wants to defeat us, then we don’t see the interest in objective reporting. You do not need to create us like other left-wing media, but also with objectivity.” The “taz”newspaper correspondent Sabine am Orde, he accused: “they hate us and want to defeat us. You may also like, but then you need not be surprised if you have the necessary objectivity will not be awarded.”

The Orde replied, if you write in comments, the Democrats should face up to the extremists in the AfD, this has nothing to do with a lack of objectivity. The party’s youth can’t stand any unfavorable comments. To the address of the YES leaders, you wrote: “Maybe you can’t imagine it, but you can keep the AfD is dangerous and in Parts anti-democratic.”

The Federal office for the protection of the Constitution (BfV) had declared YES – other than the AfD, the only “test case” – with this rationale in a report for “suspected case”. “Suspected case” is, therefore, the ultra-right group “The wings” of the Thuringian AfD-Chef Björn Höcke. The BfV of the YES “sufficiently weighty evidence to certify” for an extremist effort, “wing”, even “independent evidence”.

From the Community

I can still remember, like Mr. Maier, who now sits for the AfD in the Bundestag, as the judge says the extremism researcher Kailitz, Express his opinion about the NPD. Freedom of expression is for the AfD to be a great Good – as long as it’s your opinion.

…writes user Marcus Brutus

“taz”-a correspondent of the Orde reported for years, differentiated on the developments in the party. In a comment to the “test case” AfD you had appealed to all Democrats, the extremism of the AfD. Berlin AfD-Chef Georg Pazderski was announced this week that he wanted to move his party to a “cleaning process”. The radicalization of the AfD, the YES-related share. For example, she was the host for Höcke in the Dresden fire speech in January 2017. Regularly the “Young Alternative maintains” contacts with the extreme right “Identitarian movement”.

Negative price of AfD Saxony

at the beginning of February, the Country press conference, Saxony, awarded a – merger of the political Rapporteur, in the free state of – Negative-price “sound disturbance” to the AfD in Saxony. In the justification for the “repeated Attempts by the party to complicate reporting on members, officials, or intra-party processes or to eliminate have been criticized”. Further, it was said: “the party uses again and again of the By means of expulsion of individual representatives of the press or media houses, for example, in principle, a public party events.” The Deputy head of the AfD in the Bundestag, Tino Chrupalla, announced in an internal letter to the members of the Görlitzer AfD-district Association to a “black list” with names of allegedly “rogue” journalists create.

The Congress in Magdeburg, was a tricky thing, the house blog of the “taz”. In addition to the Federal Executive elections, it will go to the consequences of pulling out of the ruling of the constitutional protection. Many of the members had left the Organisation in the past months, the AfD has also been discussed on the Abgliederung the YES. Common grounds: the radicalization of the youth organization.
