Munich - After the Bavarian Prime Minister
Markus Söder
(CSU)
spoke
on Friday morning in Munich in memory of the victims of the right-wing extremist
Oktoberfest attack
in 1980, he also devotes
some attention
to the subject of
right-wing extremism
in his speech at the
CSU party conference
.
At the virtual meeting of his party, Söder warns that right-wing extremists are trying to hijack the insecurity created by Corona.
Everyone has the
right to be skeptical and to demonstrate
, but right-wing extremists are currently trying
to establish
a kind of
"Corona-Pegida"
.
Nazis should not be allowed to play this game.
Above all, he criticizes “open and covert” neo-Nazis who
attacked democracy
under the pretext of the fight against Corona
.
At the digital party congress, the CSU chairman emphasized: "Our and my guiding standard is reason instead of conspiracy."
Söder at the CSU party convention: He announces a ban on the Reich war flag for Bavaria
In this context,
Markus Söder
* also announced that the
Reich war flag
, which is often waved at such demonstrations, will be banned in Bavaria.
A
nationwide debate
is currently going on about a ban on the flag
.
The Bremen interior authorities had already decided last week to ban them from the public.
We will order Bavaria to ban the Reich War flag.
Such a flag shows the rejection of our democracy.

"With such a flag you show your clear
rejection and distance to our democracy,
" said Söder.
He emphasizes: "We won't let right-wing extremists hijack our free democracy."
Markus Söder: The hatred also hits the Prime Minister personally
The
CSU
* politician also
declares
war on
“increasingly absurd
conspiracy theories
”
.
He noticed that the tone was becoming more aggressive and that people were
becoming radicalized
.
Söder also feels the latter point himself.
During his speech, for example, he reads out letters and posts addressed to him in order to show that “there is a greater danger behind it than some believe”.
“You won't see tomorrow again.
I will shoot you, cut you into slices and throw you to the tigers to eat, ”is the first example read aloud.
Another post, for example: “It's over!
This megalomaniac psychopath has to be hung up on the next tree as quickly as possible. ”
Söder
says that despite these hostilities he wants to
keep the line
and stay strong.
But after reading it, he has to
collect
himself
:
“You have to take a deep breath” - he is visibly taken with him.
