German Court Convicts Far-Right Politician of Using Banned Nazi Slogan
ai generated text
Björn Höcke, a 52-year-old politician from the far-right AfD party in Thuringia, has been convicted of using a banned Nazi phrase. The phrase "Alles für Deutschland" (Everything for Germany) was once used by the Sturmabteilung paramilitary group that played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power. Höcke claimed he was unaware of the slogan's Nazi connotations when he used it, but the presiding judge found otherwise, convicting him and fining him 13,000 euros ($14,000). This is the latest legal blow to the AfD party, which has been criticized for its ties to neo-Nazism.
Everything for our homeland, everything for Saxony-Anhalt, everything for Germany.
