Eklat about AfD politicians: Racism comment on women's football!
A comment by AfD politician Daniel Wald has caused outraged reactions on social networks. The member of the state parliament from Saxony-Anhalt commented on the platform X (formerly Twitter) in a contribution to the German women's football national team and used a racist expression. The comment was: "Yes, German women's national team without an N ******", supplemented with a clapping emoji. This not only produced numerous advertisements against him, but also triggered a wave of criticism.
The State Network Migrant Organizations (Lamsa) accuses Wald of racist statements. In a statement, Lamsa criticized his vocabulary as a sign of deeply rooted racist thinking patterns in society. In addition, a criminal complaint was made by the left, represented by Eva von Angern, who urgently demands measures by the police and judiciary and demands a clear rejection of racism. "It should not be that inhumane language is normalized," said Angern.
Investigations and internal discussions
In the result of the incidents, the Halle public prosecutor's office has started investigations against forest, and there are now seven advertisements against him. The AfD parliamentary group in the state parliament speaks of internal thematization of the statement, but describes the matter as "done" after the comment deleted. The X-profile of Wald itself is no longer found. His public silence on the matter speaks volumes about the explosive situation.
Olaf Meister, Parliamentary Managing Director of the Greens in the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, criticized Wald's statement as "inhumane" and described such comments as violation of political responsibility. In social networks it was hailing sharp convictions, especially constant users described the statement as embarrassing and as confirmation of the prevailing racist image of the Afd.
racism as a society as a whole
The incidents around Daniel Wald throw a bright light on the increasing spread of racist and right -wing extremist positions in our society. According to a study by the German Institute for Human Rights, racist and right -wing extremists are located as a fundamental part of the AfD. It is also stated that such positions negate not only human dignity, but also the principle of legal equality in the Basic Law.
The AfD is therefore faced with the urgent need to clearly differentiate itself from such statements so as not to further endanger its social influence. Last but not least, it is crucial that all political actors actively position themselves against racism and discrimination and do not ignore these topics. The Wald case could also be understood as a wake -up call for a broader social debate about racism.
The developments are still being observed closely, and it remains to be seen which consequences for the forest and the AfD will follow. In any case, it turns out that such statements must not remain uncommented and that the fight against racism remains essential in society.
