AfD Kompakt, August 26, 2022.
From the beginning is to emphasized that the assertion all Russians
might be held responsible for this war is completely absurd. Even so absurd is
[European Union Peoples’ Party chairman Manfred] Weber’s demand to no longer
allow Russian tourists entry into the EU. Considering the uncontrolled flows
from Islamic countries, Weber’s demand represents the height of absurdity.
With this demand, Germany makes itself laughable as as
ostensible representative of right and freedom. Here again is postulated a
moral superiority which however in the case of the U.S.A. was never attained.
While the AfD is accused of being racist since we on good
grounds reject illegal mass immigration from foreign cultures, here is proposed
to again bring to life the Iron Curtain. Russians as a whole shall be excluded
simply because they are Russian. That is pure racism.
We reject the wholesale exclusion of people simply because they
belong to a specific ethnic group. We reject the return of an “Iron Curtain”
2.0 and in addition demand the lifting of those sanctions which harm Germany
and destroy our prosperity.
