In a post on Twitter, Bernd Schreyer complained that the Greens were being instigated as if they were the “new Jews.” In another post, he acknowledged that this could be “misinterpreted”.
Munich Green City Councilor Bernd Schreyer deleted a controversial tweet on Twitter on Sunday evening. In it he wrote: “I’m sorry that I have to say this. But I’ve looked at the flood of comments from so-called ‘bourgeois conservative’ and ‘right-wing extremist’ ‘opinions’. Although there was never a ban on heating, has managed to incite against the Greens as if they were the ‘new Jews’ who must be ‘eradicated’ in order to bring all happiness and prosperity back to Germany.”
Criticism quickly arose on the short message service, with Schreyer playing down the Holocaust. He then deleted the tweet and, when asked about it, explained in another tweet that he understood that his statement “can be misinterpreted”. However, there was “a time in the 1920s well before the Holocaust.”
Loud Picture-Zeitung is the parliamentary group leader of the Greens in Munich City Hall, Dominik Krause “deeply horrified” by the statements of his party colleague. You distance yourself from the statements and will discuss the consequences after you have spoken to Schreyer about it, she said Picture.
