Andreas Kohlberger (AfD) wants to become mayor of Rosenheim. Now a video has appeared that shows him at a public event. He speaks openly of how he uses violence against migrants. This has now brought him a criminal complaint.
Rosenheim - How is a speech by AfD member Andreas Kohlberger (50) with his ambition to become mayor of the city of Rosenheim and thus her representative in the municipal election on March 15? A YouTube video shows a delicate statement by the candidate. People with a migration history who act “like a pig” have to show the limits.
Kohlberger: "Because they don't learn to talk"
The Rosenheim city councilor Abuzar Erdogan (SPD) has filed a criminal complaint on Tuesday with the Traunstein public prosecutor's office because of the video.
The video shows Kohlberger talking about "Not so long living here" who "behave like us". First of all, he says that you can't get ahead with physical violence. But then: "If I'm fooled by a fool like that, I'll show him where his limits are." And further: "Because they don't learn to speak. But if I excuse the expression, put one on the mouth, then he knows what a limit is. I have done it my whole life, and that I'll always do it that way. "
"AfD Watch" makes video public
The more than a minute long video with Kohlberger's recording comes from a public AfD event in Frasdorf on July 1, 2018. It was uploaded to YouTube by a group or an individual who calls himself "AfD Watch".
In a joint statement with his district chairman Andreas Winhart, Kohlberger emphasized in a reaction to the video: “I distance myself from all physical violence in politics. As you can see from the video, they were stories from my youth. I also said that there are limits to aggressive migrants. I think that is still necessary in the context of civil courage. "
This video excerpt also shortens the entire discussion. Kohlberger claims that the background to his statements was an assault on him and his family at the Rosenheim Summer Festival 2017.
City Council Erdogan accuses Kohlberger of "living definition of racism"
The police are not yet aware of the video material with the statements made by Kohlberger, as it says from there at the request of the editors. The police refer the public prosecutor for a legal assessment, which could not comment on Tuesday.
The Rosenheim city council Erdogan says that those who want to get a definition of racism in action should watch the video. Erdogan continues: "If you then choose AfD, you have to be accused of the same."
