Repression in Germany Silencing the Opposition

Alice Weidel: "The current government continues the war against freedom of expression started by its predecessors. They try to silence critical voices by labeling them as right-wing extremists. Under the pretext of fighting hate speech and misinformation, legitimate opinions are being criminalized.

And finally, there is our domestic intelligence service, the so-called Office for the Protection of the Constitution. In reality, it is nothing more than a service to protect the diminishing power of the establishment.

As for real intelligence work, such as uncovering terrorists and preventing attacks, this office is a complete failure. Instead of focusing on its true mission, it spies on the opposition with a single goal: to denounce the AfD as enemies of the constitution and to manufacture a pretext to outlaw our party.

Let’s make one thing clear, and this is what we want you to know, what we want the world to know about what is happening in Germany."
