Red Card for Inciters and Divisive Figures

The same "red card" should also be issued to female agitators and divisive figures, especially when they speak out against diversity and a colorful coexistence in our society despite their foreign names. Last night, during the so-called "Staatsreparatur" event at Lichterfelde Ost station in Berlin, Lena Kotré — who is dating Sellner — sought to spread her far-right hate speech. Lena Kotré is deputy chair of the AfD faction in the Brandenburg state parliament and "confirmed far-right extremist".

A meeting between Kotré and Martin Sellner — despite opposition from the AfD leadership — caused quite a stir. Sellner, an activist with the far-right Identitarian Movement, espouses "racist, ethno-nationalist, and anti-Semitic views." Kotré supports his "remigration" concept: "Even naturalized migrants should leave the country — ‘voluntary’ is not the method of choice."

During the Brandenburg election campaign she distributed a close-combat weapon as the "Original Lena Kotré Kubotan" for "self-defense." She calls for refugees to be excluded from all public events, regardless of the restrictions on fundamental rights that this would entail. A "brochure on crime committed by people of foreign origin in Brandenburg," for which she is partly responsible, (...) contains (...) manipulative representations and omissions.

That is why, last night — on police orders, on the opposite side of the street from the "Staatsreparatur" — there was a demonstration by the "Grandmas Against the Right" and other concerned citizens, including an activist from "Action Freedom Not Fear". Together, they sang the song "Frère Jacques" as loudly as possible, with lyrics rewritten something like this: German politics — are you still sleeping, are you still sleeping,
... check, check, check*!

*) The song "Marmor, Stein und Eisen bricht" can also be sung to call for the swiftest possible review of a ban on the AfD, as the rally at the Brandenburg Gate had demonstrated.
