Christian Carius (CDU) called for an end to memorial action in front of private house of AfD politician Björn Höcke: “Here, under guise of artistic freedom, a scandalous attack on freedom of mandate, integrity of a person, family and and privacy, “said Thuringia’s Landtag president. The red-red-green provincial government must ensure “that monitoring is immediately terminated and that necessary investigations are initiated”.

Activists had erected 24 concrete steles on side plot of Höckes house in Eichsfeld, which were to commemorate Holocaust memorial in Berlin. The action was prepared after Dresden speech Höckes, in which he had designated Berlin memorial for murdered Jews of Europe as a “monument of shame”, activists of Centre for Political Beauty (ZPS) shared.
The group rented property adjacent to Höckes property according to its own specifications. From re, one observes AfD politician, divided ZPS with. The result was “several insightful dossiers”, it was said. For Carius, this is an action that is equated with “decomposition methods of GDR state security”: “political rejection is so morally laminateded as a psychological terror.” In spite of all political contrasts, privacy of politicians should not become subject of political debate.
The provincial chairman of Jewish community in Thuringia, Reinhard Schramm, also rejects action. He described it as “well-intentioned and poorly done” in central German broadcasting. Protests against Höcke could exist, “but not before his private house”. His private life and family should remain taboo, said Schramm.
