A German politician has left the far-right Alternative for Germany to set up
a new party with a logo that uses a symbol adopted as a secret sign by
Austrian Nazis in the 1930s.
André Poggenburg resigned from his post as the AfD’s regional leader in
eastern Saxony-Anhalt state last year after labelling Turks as “camel drivers
” and immigrants with dual nationality a “homeless mob we no longer want”.
He announced his resignation from the party in an email sent to the
leadership earlier this week.
一位德国政客离开了德国的极右派"另类选择党"(简称AfD)并创立一个新的政党，
使用了旧纳粹1930年的祕密标志。
André Poggenburg曾是AfD在东萨克森 安哈尔特州的区域领导人，他辞去职务，
过去他将土耳其人称为“骆驼司机”，
关于双重国籍的移民则宣称:“我们不再需要的无家可归的暴民”。本周早些时候，他
通过电子邮件向该政党领导层宣布辞职。
In the email he criticised the AfD for worrying too much about the
possibility of being put under surveillance by German intelligence.
Separately he told Welt newspaper that he was opposed to a “shift to the left
” in the AfD, which has spent the last months ridding itself of extreme
elements in an attempt to appear more moderate.
“Unfortunately, the developments inside the AfD in the last weeks and months
has shown that it isn’t really my political home any longer,” Poggenburg
wrote in the email.
在电子邮件中，他批评AfD过于担心被德国情报部门监视，
此外他告诉Wilt newspaper(世界报)自己反对AfD"向左移动"。
过去的几个月里，他们为了试图显得更加温和而摆脱了极端因素。
“不幸的，过去一段时间AfD内部发展已经表明它不再是我的政治家园，”
Poggenburg在电子邮件中写道。
His new party Aufbruch der deutschen Patrioten (Awakening of German Patriots)
will use a cornflower against the background of a German flag. The small blue
flower was used as a secret symbol by the then-banned National Socialists in
1930s Austria before the Anschluss of 1938 brought the Nazis to power in the
country.
Poggenburg, who has repeatedly come under fire for his use of Nazi-era
vocabulary, will bring at least two AfD allies, Egbert Ermer and Benjamin
Przybylla, into his fledgling party. The party is said to be planning an
electoral debut at regional elections in the eastern states of Saxony,
Thuringia and Brandenburg this autumn.
他的新政党 德国爱国者觉醒党 将以国旗为底配上矢车菊为标志。
这个小花是1938年德奥合并前纳粹在1930年代的秘密标志。
Poggenburg因使用纳粹时代词汇而受到抨击，他也将至少两名AfD党员Egbert Ermer
和Benjamin Przybylla带入他刚刚起步的政党。据说该党计划今年秋天在东萨克森州，
图林根州和勃兰登堡州的地区选举中首次亮相。
Poggenburg told Welt that he does not want the party to compete with the AfD,
and that he proposes “to stay with the successful [political] positioning of
the AfD of around two years ago and not go along with the noticeable shift to
the left”.
The development will overshadow the AfD’s annual conference in the Saxon
town of Riesa, which opened on Friday. Delegates will finalise the party’s
programme for upcoming European elections and are expected to reject a
proposal supporting “Deuxit” – Germany exiting the EU.
Poggenburg告知Welt他不希望自己政党与AfD竞争，
他建议“继续保持大约两年前AfD的成功[政治]定位，而不是明显转向左翼"
这发展也将使周五开幕的撒克逊小镇里萨的AfD年会蒙上阴影。
AfD党代表们将最终确定即将举行的欧洲选举党计画，
预计将拒绝支持德国脱欧“Deuxit”提案。
Further distraction came after police proposed to release footage of Monday’
s violent attack on AfD politician Frank Magnitz. AfD federal chairman Jörg
Meuthen has said he would support the move to publish the video, which he
claims shows unknown assailants knocking Magnitz to the ground with a wooden
instrument before beating him around the head.
Police had earlier said the footage cast doubt on the AfD’s account.
Magnitz, who heads the AfD’s chapter in the city state of Bremen, spent
three days in hospital after the attack.
最近警方发布AfD政治家Frank Magnitz被暴力袭击画面后，大家的注意力稍稍转移。
AfD主席JörgMeuthen声明他支持发布该视频举动，并表示该视频显示
攻击者用木制器具将Magnitz击倒在地，然后继续击打头部。
注:
无论右派左派都有极端分子呢。总之标志不是倒万字喔~
