Cologne's OB Reker about the protection of the constitution: a worrying signal
Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger: "Depresses me very much": Whether Reker is expressed after the constitutional protection classification about AfD
In the context of the current constitutional protection of the AfD, Cologne's mayor Henriette Reker was concerned and thoughtful. At a recent Ford operating assembly, she commented on the developments related to the political landscape in Germany.
Reker, which is independent, signals in their statements that it sees the increasing classification of the AfD as extremist as a serious challenge for society. She visibly affected her about the constitutional protection classification, which she clearly expressed in her public speech. Dealing with the AfD and its position within the democratic spectrum was a central theme of their speech.
The concern about the constitutional protection report is not only a local policy concern, but also raises major questions about the integrity of the political discourse in Germany. The AfD has increasingly polarized in public perception in recent years and made many citizens and politicians skeptical.
The reactions to Reker’s statement could have far -reaching consequences, not only for the political landscape in Cologne, but also for dealing with extremist tendencies at the federal level. The dialogue about the challenges from the AfD is of crucial importance for German society, especially with regard to the protection of democratic values and social cohesion.
Reker's statements also illustrate how important it is that local political leaders are clearly positioned. In times when extremist ideologies try to penetrate social awareness, a clear message against intolerance and extremism is essential.
