Accusations of corruption, lack of a pension concept, migration policy: For the parliamentary director of the SPD parliamentary group, the AfD is a “real location risk” for Germany.
Accusations of corruption and espionage have weighed on the AfD for weeks. The allegations have not been resolved for a long time, but the party leadership so far sees no reason to reject its top candidates for the European elections, Maximilian Krah and Petr Bystron.
The parliamentary managing director of the SPD parliamentary group in the Bundestag, Katja Mast, is now taking a hard line against the right-wing party. “The AfD is a real locational risk: it is doing everything to…
“To harm Germany as a business location,” Mast told t-online on Wednesday. “It’s not just the espionage and corruption allegations: the AfD wants to relieve the rich and burden working people.” When it comes to secure pensions, it is “blank in terms of content” and is worrying with its behavior “that urgently needed skilled workers are afraid to come to us.”
“There is certainly no need for a party that wants to dismantle our democracy.”
On Labor Day, Mast reminded people of the importance of May 1st from a social democratic perspective. “Hundreds of thousands will celebrate Labor Day today. This is also a clear commitment to our values, to our democracy in the country and in the company, and thus against the AfD.”
The motto for this year’s May 1st is “More wages, free time and security,” said the SPD politician. “This requires more collective bargaining and certainly no party that wants to undermine our democracy.”
