“Saxony’s Interior Ministry wants to revoke hunting licenses of AfD [Alternative for Germany] supporters,” Berliner Zeitung reported Sunday. “Anyone in Saxony who is an AfD member or attends party events risks losing their firearms license. A new decree now reverses the burden of proof.”
“Saxony’s Interior Ministry confirmed the existence of the measure, issued last July, but declined to publish it, describing it as an ‘internal document,’” RT explained, noting the reason was the AfD Party has been classified as a “confirmed right-wing extremist” organization due to its “anti-immigration platform and oppos[ition to] sanctions on Russia and support for Ukraine.” A challenge to that designation was rejected on appeal, showing the establishment fears a rapidly growing populist movement that reflects voter dissatisfaction with current government policies.
