A AfD-politician, had described their families as “scum”. The descendants of former guest workers now on the social networks for the military.
Belong to the German story: Turkish guest workers monopoly in Bergkamen, in the colliery, New-
“My uncle stood years day & night on the Assembly line from VW and Conti, never complaining, grateful for work, accurately observed their working hours so that your children will have it even better,” writes the German-jesidische journalist and filmmaker Düzen Tekkal on Twitter. “We can us, German immigration history is not broke talk as riff-raff”.
She’s not the only one that fights back. Against the statement of the politician of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) Nicolaus: “We invited guest workers, were but a rabble”, AfD Version of the set of Max Frisch that “We called for workers and got human beings.” Fixed the statement, published on his private Blog, in 2017. At that time, the AfD has shown politicians for these and other statements for sedition, the procedure was discontinued a short time later, however.
The AfD beat with your own words
Almost a week ago, the quote popped up now and again, on a Facebook page titled “We will hunt them down”, also a quote from an AfD-politician. The AfD group Chairman Alexander Gauland had directly announced after the Federal election in 2017, the Chancellor will hunt… “and we will get our country and our people back”.
A satirical Initiative has now placed under Gaulands quote the page and collecting racist Statements made by AfD politicians, packaged in an AfD election poster Look. “Like to burn these statements themselves to the last brain, the history of the AfD (yet) well-being,” writes the Initiative on their Facebook page. And: “the main thing is, in the end no one says, you would have known nothing”. Only a few days later, the side consequences of over 23,000 people.
And the “poster” of Nicolaus has found its way on the Timelines of opponents and opponents of the AfD. There are Germans with a migration history in the family, set against the racist defamation of their parents and grandparents to the military.
To spoke, among other things, the Green politician Gönül Eğlence
or the CDU politician and state Secretary for Integration in North Rhine-Westphalia, Serap Güler:
or naval officer Nariman Hammouti:
Came as guest workers
As the parents and grandparents of Eğlence, Güler and Hammouti, many of the so-called “guest workers arrived in the 1950s and 1960s,” in the Federal Republic of Germany. The economy was booming, but workers were missing. This wandered a – first from Italy, later from Greece, Spain, and then, from 1961, also from Turkey. Germany and Turkey agreed on a so-called recruitment agreement, the document was only two pages, but it led to many workers migrated to Germany.
Now – several generations later – are the former “guest workers” and their descendants an integral part of German society.
Nicolaus would not have let the campaign not be. On his Facebook page he called the sentence “out of context” and the quote tile a “Fake”. To argue that: “In fact, I’m of the Belief that imported honor killers, a clan of criminals, anti-Semites and torturers, the term ‘riff-raff’ is not wrong.” A set that he would like to restore the context of the Original quotation, apparently, again.
Criticism of the aggressive rhetoric of the AfD increases
It is the allegations in the AfD, to act with a “dehumanizing” rhetoric as “incendiary” are piling up. For example, for attacks like the one in the hall, where the right attacked radical, a synagogue and a Doner kebab shop and from anti-Semitic and racist motives of the two people killed.
In a week is selected in the Eastern German state of Thuringia a new Parliament. The party is led by Björn Höcke, the meaning of this incendiary rhetoric is. He wants to back the party further to the right. In 2015, he founded the so-called “wings” of the AfD, which combines the hard-liners in the party and from the protection of the Constitution is observed. Again and again, Höcke with a rhetoric that is strongly reminiscent of phrases from the Nazi era. Current forecasts suggest that the AfD could be in Thuringia, the second strongest force.
