Here is the...Ok, before there is a major freak-out. Here is the backstory to this:<br /><br />a couple of years ago when Sonneborn was the chief editor of a famous German satire magazin he got pretty fed up with how uninspirational the traditional parties in Germany had become which had resulted in major vote gains for the NPD (the German Neo-Nazi-Party) in some state elections. <br /><br />So Sonneborn decided to counteract by founding his own semi-fake-party, simply called "The Party" with the satirical motto "we can be even more tasteless than the NPD".<br /><br />The goal of this was to raise awareness and expose the disgusting, anti-democratic methodes and mindset of the NPD<br /><br />This sunday Berlin will elect a new state parliament (Berlin = one of 3 German city-states). As always the election campaign of the NPD for this election has been pretty ugly, agressive and borderline anti-constitutional. E.g. they put up posters with NPD-leader Vogt on a motorcycle and the sentence "Rev it up!" (in German: Give Gas!).<br /><br />So true to the motto of "the Party" Sonneborn only tries to say: "You find our poster disgusting? look at the posters of the NPD! Where is the outcry about that?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
