The newly-installed head of the German secret police has announced plans to put the largest opposition party in German under surveillance.
The new head of the Verfassungsschutz Thomas Haldenwang wants to put the Alternative for Germany under secret police surveillance for alleged anti-democratic tendencies, Focus Magazine reported today.
Chancellor Angela Merkel had forced out secret police chief Hans-Georg Maassen, a vocal opponent of secret police observation of AfD, in November. Maassen had challenged Merkel for claiming there had been “Nazi manhunts” in Chemnitz end of August, a claim for which no real evidence has ever been presented, but was widely echoed by all Mainstream Media.
If the German secret police officialy label the AfD as “extremist”, it will prevent lawyers, teachers and government employees from joining the conservative party.
“This is a pure propaganda campaign to smear us”, said AfD foreign policy spokesman Petr Bystron. “The Verfassungsschutz has been keeping tabs on us for months and published a thousand-page report, which found no evidence whatsover of any sort of illegal activity. With the European and state elections coming, which promise to be a landslide for the AfD, the ruling parties need some way to attack us. This is the same secret police that has allowed Islamic terrorists to roam freely, such as Anis Amri, who perpetrated the 2016 Christmas market massacre. They are subject to political control by the ruling patrties, who now are not hestitating to use them as a political weapon to club their opponents with.”
