Shutting down far-right party in Germany meets opposition

A leading German politician is suggesting a way to deal with the far-right NPD—-cut off state funding. His proposal has met with some skepticism and on Friday many German papers argue that it could set a worrying precedent.

German democracy is having a tough time dealing with the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD) which is steadily gaining political ground. Now there are calls to hit the party where it hurts—-in its pocket.

The NPD has been deemed “racist, anti-Semitic and revionist” by the country’s domestic intelligence agency, the Office of the Protection of the Constitution. There have been calls to ban the party, but an attempt to have the Constitutional Court outlaw it failed in 2003 and the NPD continues to get state funding, consistent with Germany’s campaign finance laws.

    Why not cut off funding to the “Left”? It makes as much sense as cutting off funding to the “right”.

    Jews. The Jews are behind this. The Jews are behind most of the problems of the world.

    Rid the world of Jews and most of our problems will be solved.

    Hamm, as I have said before: The election laws are INTENDED to suppress any new parties.

    In theory a new party can form. The reality is they will be exhausted with cynical barriers to appearing on the ballot. They will be exhausted by court cases.

    This is America’s dirty little secret.
