After the Catholic bishops’ declaration against right-wing extremism, state leader Protschka draws a line in the sand with nasty hostilities. But there are also other voices in his party. The course has been controversial for years.
Maximilian Krah believes that he doesn’t let “priests” dictate anything to him, “we won’t let a fat Bishop Marx take away our faith.” The Bavarian AfD invited the nation’s top candidate for this year’s European elections to the political Ash Wednesday in the Deggendorf district. Krah, who sees himself as the intellectual leader of the extreme, ethnic camp, outlined his nationalist dream Germany. In it he pathetically invoked Western tradition, German history and Christianity; For the churches specifically, there were only cheap insults. Or the speech by Stephan Protschka, the AfD state leader. “As long as the Catholic Church is not able to expose its sex scandals and its child fuckers, I will no longer pay church tax,” he shouted on stage.
