The singers stand due to alleged right-wing populist lyrics several times already in the criticism. Against its appearance in Rosenheim, a “coalition for action against hate, called” the protest March.
Normally it goes in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim, rather contemplative. But on Thursday evening (20.07.2017) gathered up citizens to protest against the concert of Xavier water tank was exchanged and his Band “Söhne mannheims”. However, far fewer participants than expected. Just a dozen people demonstrated against “conspiracy theories, homophobia and anti-Semitism”. The coalition for action “No hate on rose home stage” had already pushed a few months ago on a gig ban but was unsuccessful. The city is a co-organiser of the concert.
Originally a protest March to the opponent’s water tank was exchanged through downtown was planned, but was cancelled at short notice. Instead, the participants held a small rally and distributed leaflets to passers-by.
Several times already noticed
After Xavier water tank was exchanged for participation at the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 from the discharge ends of the North German broadcasting was withdrawn, because the singer was said to have sympathies for the so-called “rich citizens” (they reject the system of government in Germany), caught the singer in may 2017, again to the Public. Stone of contention: the Song “puppets,” in which he insulted a politician. “Parts of your race call you High – or people’s traitors”, it says, among other things. And: “If I only get a in the Finger, then I tear it to shreds.” The people at the social networks for criticism: the Text to be right-wing, populist, and call for vigilante justice, it said.
Naidoo, who has Indian and African roots, and the sons of Mannheim rejected the accusation of right-wing populism is always chosen.
