Greding (AP) – The AfD raised heavy artillery against the federal government and in Bavaria on its political Ash Wednesday. The speakers in the Franconian town of Greding focused on the Corona policy in particular. The AfD member of the Bundestag Gottfried Curio said: “To hold the people on the curb for so long that they have developed a slave syndrome by the Bundestag election and are happy to be released by mother again” – that is the principle of the federal government in crisis management .

“The horror of lockdown measures must be on the table, and that must be punished in the elections,” he demanded. “This chancellor is a propaganda chancellor,” said Curio, referring to Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU). He spoke of “politically directed people’s stupefaction”.

The AfD member of the Bundestag Peter Boehringer said the governments were deliberately driving tens of thousands of companies to ruin with their corona policy. Scientists would be “bought”, the media accused Boehringer of being on the state line and not fulfilling their control function. There is a “molecular house-to-house war for the truth”. Boehringer called on AfD supporters: “Resist! Peacefully, of course.”

Curio criticized the increasing politicization of the German language. “We live in the age of man-made change in truth,” said Curio. There is a culture of suppression of free opinion. Among other things, illegal migration should be washed white and the exploitation of Germany by the EU should be concealed. In this context, he praised Britain’s path to Brexit. “A little bit of that British mutation would do us good too.”
