MP allegedly greeted a party colleague at German parliament building ‘with a heel click and a Hitler salute’
Berlin prosecutors say they have charged a member of the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party with making a Nazi salute in parliament.
The suspect allegedly “greeted a party colleague … at the east entrance to the Reichstag building with a heel click and a Hitler salute” in June 2023, the prosecutors said in a statement issued on Monday.
Making such a salute is illegal in Germany and is punishable by up to three years in prison.
The newspaper Bild named the politician as Matthias Moosdorf, 60, a member of parliament for Zwickau in the former East German state of Saxony.
This post includes misinformation. Bild is not a newspaper.
While “Bild” is actually a horrible rag worth being published in England, this does not change the fact that AfD members are Nazis. And one was stupid enough to show it in the open.
Then what is it?
They’re saying Bild is a tabloid, which while accurate, is a type of newspaper.
Nope. A newspaper contains news. A tabloid contains headlines. I beg to differ.
Fair enough. It’s just a tabloid rag then.
Awful toiletpaper?
A hateful comic maybe
