Offenbach – The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has found a new date after Björn Höcke’s failed appearance around the local elections in Offenbach on February 12th. Now the right-wing extremist and spokesman for the Thuringian AfD speak in front of the town hall on Thursday, March 4th. The Offenbach AfD chairwoman Christin Thüne said on Wednesday in Michael Wittwer’s YouTube panel discussion, who works on the right-wing extremist citizens’ movement Pro Chemnitz belongs.

In the past week she canceled the event because the town hall had been closed and Höcke and his security guards wouldn’t have had a place to warm up and go to the bathroom. And no Dixi toilets could have been organized in a hurry.

The canceled Höcke appearance was also the subject of the last city council meeting. Minister of Order Peter Freier (CDU) had explained in detail why the city did not oppose the AfD rally in front of the flame at the town hall, the memorial for the victims of National Socialism. In order to prohibit an event there, the memorial must be designated as a special location by the state. However, this is extremely rare, since it comes with the restriction of the meeting. “We have the police headquarters in Southeast Hesse and the defense of Constitution consulted. Both agencies saw no apparent basis for a ban or a postponement of the meeting, ”said Freier.

There were deliberately no legal steps taken to avoid upgrading the event. The flame would have been enclosed in an appearance. Whether the city has to do this in two weeks depends on whether Höcke this time actually comes or not. (Timur Tinç)
