The Bundestag wants to stop the right-wing extremist Turkish organization "Gray Wolves" in Germany.
A joint application by the CDU / CSU, SPD, FDP and the Greens, which was approved by the parliamentary majority on Wednesday, calls on the federal government to examine a ban on the associations of the so-called Ülkücü movement.
It was racist, anti-Semitic and anti-democratic and threatened internal security in this country, it was said to justify.
According to the German constitutional protection report, the “gray wolves” are “carriers and propagators” of nationalist-right-wing extremist ideas.
The organization also has ties to the ultra-nationalist MHP party in Turkey, which forms a government alliance there with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's AKP party.
The Bundestag wants to stop the right-wing extremist organization in Germany now.
A joint proposal from the CDU / CSU, SPD, FDP and the Greens received a majority in parliament.
This calls on the federal government to examine a ban on the socalled Ülkücü movement.
It was racist, anti-Semitic and anti-democratic and threatened internal security in this country, it was said to justify.
In SPIEGEL, CDU politicians had recently urged them to take action against the ultra-nationalists in Germany (read more here).
The "agitation against all ethnic non-Turks such as Kurds and Armenians" constitutes a "considerable threat to our free and democratic basic order."
Two weeks ago, the French government dissolved the "gray wolves" in their country.
They stir up discrimination and hatred and are involved in acts of violence, was the reason.
In the motion that has now been approved, the French approach is expressly welcomed by the Bundestag.
He hopes that other states will follow suit.
