Left-Extremist Endeavours

"Republikanische Jugend" (RJ - "Republican Youth") declared:
"Here it can be seen that ’multicultural society’ in reality is a
multicriminal society". By demagogically equating ’multicultural’
with ’multicriminal’, the REP undiscriminatingly stamp all
foreigners as potential lawbreakers.
The Party disparages the in-migration of foreigners as a special
form of ’environmental nuisance’, by demanding in an election
pamphlet:
"Instead of eco-dictatorship and excessive belief in progress:
protection of our basis of existence. Anybody wishing to
preserve nature and the homeland must prevent in-migration."
(Pamphlet on the local elections in North Rhine/Westphalia on
12 September 1999: "Wir bringen frischen Wind in die
Rathäuser" ["We’ll bring the wind of change to the townhalls"])
In the course of its xenophobic discourse, the Party also agitates
against Islam. In doing so, it not only attacks Islamic fundamentalism,
but also - undiscriminatingly - all its supporters and
government measures designed to achieve integration of Muslims.
Thus, the Party claims:
"Islam is a political religion that is contemptuous of human
beings and anti-democratic. Whoever admits it to our
classrooms, favours the establishment of a parallel Islamic
society, the ultimate aim of which is to set up Islamic
theocracy."
("Der neue Republikaner", no. 9/99, p. 3)
In particular, the REP’s xenophobic agitation jeopardizes inviolable
principles of human dignity and of equal treatment.
Anti-Semitism In accusations against the then President of the Zentralrat der
Juden in Deutschland (Central Council of Jews in Germany), Ignatz
Bubis (who died in August 1999) - accusations which, in the
last analysis, are directed against Jews in general - the REP reveal
signs of anti-Semitic thought patterns. They try to give the
impression that it is especially the Jews who prevent the German
people from coming to terms, once and for all, with the past and
from joining the international community as a member of equal
rank. Thus, the Hesse Land Association of the REP demanded
that Bubis retire from office, and directed the following reproach
at him:
"Anybody tightening the thumbscrews of the moral obligation
to continue the discussion and analysis of the past and
striving to reduce Germany to Auschwitz, will generate
opposition and will pave the way for a new anti-Semitism in
Germany. Monstrous monuments, collective legal suits
against companies and the daily overdose of moralizer pills of
the 1933/45 formula are the reasons why the call for closing
that chapter once and for all is getting louder by the day."
