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.
Nonsense. Conservatives don’t do martyrdom well, because they don’t really care about other people, even their colleagues. They appreciate the initial outrage that the martyrdom causes, but creating and maintaining a martyr requires dedication and constant hyping of the martyrdom, and conservatives just don’t have it in them to care about anyone else that much.
Also, when it’s bad guys that get wiped out, people like that.
