Germany's political campaigns use xenophobic posters
One of the election posters that went up over the weekend has the words, “Have a nice journey to your home country,” with cartoon drawings of a woman with a headscarf, a man with a turban and a black man. A similar poster were used in earlier campaigns.
Another poster, portraying NPD Chairman Udo Voigt sitting on a motorcycle with the text “Give gas,” was reminiscent of the Nazi gas chambers and triggered outrage from many politicians.
An Internet site was also published in preparation for the far-right political party's campaign. A video on its homepage shows a woman with a headscarf and the Turkish flag with the words: “We Germans have become foreigners in our own neighborhoods. How much more will we tolerate?”
Meanwhile, another political group named "Bürgerbewegung Pro Deutschland" is using center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD) member and former member of the executive board of the Deutsche Bundesbank Thilo Sarrazin's racist comments about Muslim immigrants living in Germany in its posters.
