The Dresden city council has voted to approve a paper declaring that there is a “Nazi State of Emergency” in the city because… Well, because a lot of citizens oppose mass immigration. Or dislike the building of mosques.
Simply questioning the wisdom of open borders is enough to earn the “Nazi” label in Germany.

Video transcript:
00:00 | If you travel through the Florence of the Elbe, | |
00:03 | you can admire the famous Sistine Madonna painting, the entire | |
00:06 | Zwinger Palace or the rebuilt Church of our Lady. | |
00:09 | However, whoever travels to the Florence on the Elbe | |
00:12 | is also in Dresden, and this city has a problem with Nazis. At least that’s how a representative | |
00:17 | of the Dresden city council formulated it. On Wednesday, a majority | |
00:20 | Of the council have now even written a paper | |
00:23 | under the title “Nazi State of Emergency” with a question mark. | |
00:27 | The concept was the subject of heated debate. | |
00:30 | “Emergency” usually means there is acute danger, | |
00:33 | as with natural disasters. Many see Dresden as dangerous, | |
00:37 | as the right-wing stronghold in the entire federal state of Saxony. Right-wing extremist violence | |
00:41 | has increased by 45 percent between 2017 and 2018. | |
00:46 | Dresden’s city council has now decided to take concrete action | |
00:51 | against the Right. Claudia Kaiser reports. | |
00:55 | Dresden is a city of culture, a state capital, and has a lot to offer the tourist. The so-called | |
01:00 | Florence of the Elbe is also known for such pictures. | |
01:03 | For five years Pegida has been demonstrating in the city. | |
01:06 | There have been xenophobic attacks and an attack on a mosque. Does that mean there is | |
01:11 | a “Nazi state of emergency” in Dresden because of this? That’s the question that is now being | |
01:16 | discussed in Dresden due to this man’s initiative. | |
01:19 | Max Aschenbach of the satire party, “The Party” has submitted | |
01:22 | a motion with exactly this question to the city council because: —For years there’s been a problem | |
01:26 | that actually cannot be denied anymore. | |
01:31 | The politicians have actually been refusing to act against it, | |
01:36 | in a sense they should be saying: “No. We will ostracise all right-wing notions and we also won’t | |
01:41 | speak with Nazis because that’s just a no-go.” | |
01:44 | In the city council, the motion was heatedly discussed, | |
01:47 | mainly because many on the city council are | |
01:50 | committed to the fight against the Right, | |
01:53 | but didn’t agree with the chosen formulations. In the end, the motion was completely rewritten | |
01:56 | and adopted by a clear majority with the votes of the SPD, the Green Party, the Left and FDP. | |
02:03 | The title “Nazi State of Emergency?” could not be changed afterwards for reasons of formality. | |
02:10 | It is an overstatement. That’s quite clear, | |
02:13 | but that has to do with the fact that we as an association of the city want to clearly say | |
02:17 | that we support people who oppose it. We expect that from everyone who opposes racism, | |
02:21 | anti-Semitism and we also don’t want this Pegida smear campaign here in our city anymore. | |
02:27 | That’s one of the things they write and it says, among other things: | |
02:30 | “That the democratic culture of everyday life and engagement against | |
02:33 | the causes of extremely right-wing positions should be strengthened.” | |
02:36 | For the CDU it is purely posturing politics. | |
02:40 | We certainly have something very undesirable, that would be | |
02:45 | the demonstrations that are on the right fringe | |
02:51 | with some right-wing extremist background. We care about all of that, | |
02:57 | but this motion that the city council passed isn’t going to make things any better. | |
03:05 | The CDU voted unanimously against the motion, as well as the AfD. | |
03:08 | Instead both parties demanded taking a stand | |
03:11 | against any form of extremism, including leftist extremism (Antifa). | |
03:14 | In addition, the CDU and the FDP consider the term | |
03:17 | “Nazi state of emergency” to be inappropriate. They were not alone, | |
03:21 | because the tourism federation regards this formulation as heavy blow for Dresden. |
Aaaaarrgghh! I’m only an old-fashioned “liberal”, European-style, ie not “socialist”, and possibly a Bear of Little Brain, like Pooh, but I can understand that the rise of the “Far Right” is NOT because people in “Western” countries have become more “racist”, but because mainstream parties and leaders, not only of the “moderate” left, but also supposedly “Conservative”, eg Merkel, consistently ignore their voters’ concerns over mass immigration, especially from cultures which are incompatible with ours.
Sorry, I expect you all understand this, including the many who are somewhat more to the “right” than myself, but I felt the need for a rant!
Madness!, totally madness , I don’t know anymore what kind of world We are living since 2015 , is just like a bad dream ..
The left feel that they have the power, and must push on for their full Utopia, and now to remove all opposition, to stop any “sliding back”.
It is all a planned, “you must take your medicine, the worst it tastes the better for you”.
The worst part is the silencing, the censorship, the shutting down of discussion, debate, de-platforming, that has become a total intolerance.
Then the threats, violence of antifa.
That islamophobia is a result of islamophrenia, that is ;- a filling of the mind with Islamic tenets and beliefs.
So to compare, what is filling the minds of the multicultural, politically correct, Utopian dreamers?
You do not have to fear silencing and censorship. There are many countries across Europe that have undergone that treatment before and eventually got rid of it. It means no more than the simple fact that there’s going to be a new revolution one day and the people are going to take their homelands back from the states.
“The CDU voted unanimously against the motion, as well as the AfD”
…that’s because this was put forward by “Die Partei” (the Party), a satirical political party. I believe all their members are named after Hitler’s cabinet members, or something to that effect. MSM in other countries have misinterpreted this non-event.

I guess they’ll learn the hard way once the Germans are outnumbered by third World Muslims. I suppose they’ll say I’m a Nazi for stating an historical fact. Real German Nazis murdered my family in Greece during WWII, so I strongly dislike real Nazis or fascist.
