The Thuringian AfD parliamentary group leader Björn Höcke must now definitely answer in a second trial for knowingly using an SA slogan. The verdict in the first trial is expected to be handed down soon.
Björn Höcke, an enthusiastic speaker and definitely not camera shy, enjoys being in public. Actually. But on Friday morning in the justice center in Halle (Saale) it became too much for him. “Now, two minutes, gentlemen. That’s enough,” he says to the photographers and cameramen. Two minutes is how long they are allowed to take recordings after the participants in the trial have entered the courtroom. The question of how much attention is too much will be discussed again later on this day of the hearing.
