#Germany > Björn Höcke, the chairman of the #FarRight Alternative for Germany (#AfD) party in the state of Thuringia, is set to stand trial for allegedly using a banned Nazi slogan in a speech. The decision to proceed with a trial comes after an investigation into his remarks. Hate speech and the use of Nazi symbols are illegal in Germany due to the country's strict laws against the promotion of #Nazi ideology and hate speech. https://www.anews.com.tr/europe/2023/09/13/german-far-right-politician-faces-trial-over-use-of-nazi-slogan https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/111/058/472/379/077/531/original/a367441904510bda.jpeg
