Finland: Nationalist scandalFinland's Deputy Prime Minister Riikka Purra has sowed hatred on the web

Image
All respect: She has developed from a propagandist at the virtual right-hand regulars' table to a real political figure. For around three weeks, Riikka Purra has been Deputy Prime Minister in the new government of the newly-formed NATO member, Finland. In the cabinet under Petteri Orpo of the conservative National Coalition Party, she is responsible for the important finance department. As party leader, Purra has been at the helm of Perussuomalaiset (PS), the extreme right-wing True Finns, for the past two years. In the parliamentary elections in April, the PS became the second strongest party. The Finnish coalition partner in particular makes Prime Minister Orpo sweat a lot. First Economics Minister Vilhelm Junnila had to resign from the party, which is often belittled as right-wing populist, because of his sympathies for neo-Nazis and corresponding connections. And now some of the brown spots on Riikka Purra's vest have also been revealed. Entries from 2008 in th...

Image
Leif-Erik Holm, the state head of the AfD in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, wants to tackle the 30 percent The east is tilting to the right — now the north is shaking too!

According to the survey, the right-wing populists would come before the ruling SPD in their home country for the first time with 29 percent!

WHO IS SUPPOSED TO UNDERSTAND THAT?Özdemir’s new advertising ban quark for sweets

Image
Germany in crisis mode - and the government is concerned with when children watch TV... Food Minister Cem Özdemir (57, Greens) is planning a ban on advertising, including on TV, for certain foods (sweets, ice cream, etc.). And always creates confusion. ► Times: Özdemir initially wanted a daily advertising ban from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. Now he plans from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturdays. And on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. ► Places: Advertising for ice cream etc. should be banned within a radius of 100 meters around schools and daycare centers. BUT: It is still allowed on playgrounds, sports fields etc. What a curd! The justification for the confusion surrounding the ban on advertising: combating obesity in children. “Broad bans and paternalism” Now criticism is pouring down: Gitta Connemann (59), head of the Mittelstandsunion, goes on the barricades: "Özdemir's concessions do not solve the basic problem: he does not rely on the pe...

The state association of the AfD has been observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution since 2021 and is considered extremist.  Reason: Boss Björn Höcke The Alternative for Germany wants to nominate a candidate for chancellor in the next federal elections — and the search is taking shape. In an interview with the broadcaster WELT TV, AfD co-boss Alice Weidel (44) answered the question of whether she could imagine Thuringia's AfD boss Björn Höcke (51) standing: "In theory, he could do that. " But it depends on how he performs in the state elections in Thuringia. There will be elections in 2024. "Due to the excellent result, he will also be able to claim leadership there and then stay there," said Weidel. Thuringia will vote in autumn 2024. The fact that Höcke's state AfD is being observed by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution does not seem to disqualify him for Weidel. After all, it was “ultimately a decision made by our party ...
