New Push to Outlaw Germany’s Neo-Nazi Party
9/10/09 SNIP
Right wing extremist political party, the NPD, was re-elected in Saxony two weeks ago. Now a leading politician in Bavaria wants to seek a national ban on them. But his push is causing political conflict. Because while most German politicians want to stop the NPD, they can’t decide how best to do so.
The far-rightNational Democratic Party (NPD) recently made gains in state elections in Saxony. Now a politician in the German state of Bavaria wants to launch a new bid to ban them.
“Bavaria will not just look on as the NPD, an enemy of the constitution, drives to establish itself,” Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann, a member of the conservative Christian Social Union (CSU), told the Sddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.
