It is now the seventh time in a row that prosecutors have revoked Björn's immunity from prosecution Höcke, who is group leader of the AFD in Thuringia.

This time Höcke will be charged for saying “everything for Germany” at the end of a speech he gave in Merseburg in Saxony-Anhalt during the election campaign there in 2021 .

As a basis for this intervention, the authorities refer to the fact that the same phrase was also engraved on the SA's daggers during the Nazi era.

Björn Höcke refutes the claim that his actions had anything to do with Nazism do. He refers to the fact that “Everything for the homeland” was actually the AFD's slogan in the election campaign.

Behind the report is the Green Party's leader in Saxony-Anhalt, Sebastian Striegel.

On Facebook he writes Höcke that he is not surprised to have been reported by “an anti-German environmentalist”, reports NTV.
