“One of the most prominent regional leaders of the far-right Alternative for Germany party goes on trial on Thursday for using a Nazi slogan at a party rally,” Bloomberg reports.
“Bjoern Hoecke, the head of the AfD in the eastern state of Thuringia, was charged a year ago for using the catchphrase ‘Alles für Deutschland’ — everything for Germany — in a speech at a party rally in May 2021. The slogan was used by the militant arm of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party in the 1920s and early 1930s.”
