AfD politician
Berlin students defend themselves against Beatrix von Storch
AfD politician Beatrix von Storch should take part in an event in Berlin-of all things at a school that is named after resistance fighters in the Third Reich.
Some students from the Hans-and-Hilde-Coppi-Gymnasium in Berlin can vote for the first time in a few weeks. In order to support them in their decision -making, the school in the Karlshorst district organizes a panel discussion with politicians from various parties.
A guest is also invited from the AfD. The right-wing party represents Beatrix von Storch, AfD direct candidate for the constituency in which the school is located.
For many students, however, this invitation meets a lot of resistance. They protest against the decision of the school management, reports the “Tagesspiegel”. Under the slogan “No propaganda at our school”, the students want to protest against the event at the high school on Tuesday.
In the call, the pupils who organize the protest accuse Beatrix of Storch “Transca Straub, Antimuslim Expensation”. You want to “accept your invitation uncommented”.
Students organize rally against Beatrix von Storch and the AfD
“To give the AfD a stage, and that at a school named after resistance fighter, we find it dangerous and anti -democratic,” explain the organizers.
The couple Hans and Hilde Coppi, the namesake of the school, belonged to the “Rote Chapel” resistance group in the Third Reich and was executed by the Nazis. A student of the high school told the “Day” that against this background she felt the invitation of the AfD politician of Storch as a “insult”-especially because Storch’s grandfather was Reich Minister of Finance under Hitler and was convicted as a war criminal.
The union of the persecuted of the Nazi regime-Association of Anti-Fascists (VVN-BDA)-in a also against the planned appearance of storch: “The AfD to invite a podium means to roll out the red carpet that is Remembrance of Hans and Hilde Coppi takes their feet every day and ultimately wants to repay it. ” The son of the married couple murdered by the Nazis is honorary chairman of the association.
In the selection of guests for the panel discussion, student representatives should not have been included. They would only have found out who was invited to the event later.
The school management of the Hans-and-Hilde-Coppi-Gymnasium left one star-request unanswered. For her part, Beatrix von Storch shouted against the students who want to unload: “Those who want to prohibit their mouths different is an enemy of freedom of expression and thus also of democracy,” she told the “Tagesspiegel”.
