 @836df508 @f2210d65 @0c625182 The question, considering the troubles our most loved fascists had with Swiss gifts, is that kind of endorsement by a foreigner + tweets legal? Or illegal campaign support?

 @d598c4a5 @f2210d65 @0c625182 Since it's a mere statement as opposed to financial support, it's probably not illegal.

Unethical, yes - but not illegal.

Ah, but the AfD got into trouble over ads that were run by a totally independent "Verein", and a Tweet by an influencer with >100m followers DOES have a commercial value, doesn't it?

 @d598c4a5 @f2210d65 @0c625182 But those were formal ads, which isn't the case here.
