Germany's AfD party wins first city mayoral election in symbolic victory for far-right.
Alternative for Germany candidate Tim Lochner was elected mayor of Pirna on Sunday, a symbolic victory for the far-right party. The question of a possible ban on the movement is entering public debate.
@TheEuropeanNetwork I am not an AfD supporter - but I am astounded that the German Govt thinks that the appropriate response to a political group whose policies they don't like is to - ban it.
Whoever would have thought? What next, book-burnings? #Germany #fascism

Admin of QOTO here... Your response is not just non-nonsensical it is uncalled for.
Their stance is that political opinion shouldn't be banned, in other words, people have a right to free speech. To assume that makes them a Nazi just because they feel their free speech principle should be unconditional is unfair, inflammatory, and frankly immature.
Do better, this is not the sort of behavior QOTO is about.
@freemo @ItaDude @TheEuropeanNetwork Thankyou for acting on this. I am happy to disagree with people about issues (and often do) - but his type of trolling was way over the top.
You are welcome
He was borderline with his initial response. But him doubling down and getting more aggressive when called out clearly crossed the line.
I want people here who have respectful conversations no matter how much they disagree. Obviously if you were being rude to him then I wouldnt mind so much, but you were not being rude, and yet he increased his aggression regardless... yea no room for that.
