Alice Weidel: Activists defend sturgeon campaign in the summer interview

The group Center for Political Beauty has rejected the allegation of using the ARD summer interview with AfD boss Alice Weidel to have used the AfD rather than harmed. “You have to get rid of this fear if you want to fight the AfD,” said the group’s spokesman, Philipp Ruch, in the “Ronzheimer” podcast.

There have been actions against the AfD for at least eight years. Already during the first campaign-the group had already replaced the Berlin Holocaust memorial in the neighborhood of the residential building of AfD politician Björn Höcke in Thuringia-it was said that there was water on the mills of the AfD. Whenever you confront the AfD, it always means whether that doesn’t help the AfD.

“I would not talk about a disruptive campaign, but about a beautification campaign. So here actually, I think, I think something like the television torque of the year was created,” said Ruch to the campaign last Sunday. With the classification of the AfD by the constitutional protection, he justified this as secure right -wing extremist – this is currently on hold due to a legal dispute between the intelligence service and the AfD.

Ruch also answered questions about how the large bus with loudspeaker system could be positioned on the opposite banks of the Spree at the Reichstag, from where the summer interview with an anti-AfD song was sounded so loud that a normal conversation was no longer possible. The government district is very well secured, but it is not the ARD, said Ruch. “And there we are actually, yes we are – I don’t want to give any details now – but in close consultation, of course, with the Berlin police, of course also got in touch and could actually do what we were going to do there.”
