 Media write about the “madman”, even in Twitter the appearance of AFD politician Björn Höcke is at Günther Jauch the subject. Who is this man really, who has helped to overthrow Bernd Lucke?

 

 
 

Björn Höcke has been preparing for his appearance at Günther Jauch. But he has to be patient. The program runs for seven minutes as the moderator gave him the floor. The AFD politician begins with a “small confession”. He had gone from “deep love” to his country in politics, he says. Then Höcke draws a Germany flag from his jacket and puts it on the arm of his chair. Shortly thereafter, he asks 50 percent of the speaking time in the talk show

It was not a normal Jauch broadcast on Sunday evening. such as emotional discussions between the Thuringian AFD state and party leader and the other guests, including the Federal Minister of Justice Heiko Maas, are rather rare. Anyway you the appearance Hoecke judged: Ever since yesterday is likely the “mistaken AfDler” as the “Bild” newspaper calls him, have also gained nationwide notoriety. He was already on.

On 30 July 2014 the man from Lunen first appeared on public appeal. Before the state elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg, the AFD presented their leading candidate in Berlin. Oberstudienrat Höcke informed at that time history and sport at a Hessian School. At the press conference he leaves a lasting impression. For the record, he dictated the dumbfounded journalists at the time: “Höcke colon quotes below Political correctness is like the mildew on our country and I competed in order to clear away….” His later appearances are no less bizarre.



“He is a young striker and fully in the juice”

a long time he does not have to watch the he criticized policy-operation. Two months after the press conference draws the Thuringian AfD with Höcke at the top with 10.6 percent in the Erfurt parliament a. Also Petry and Gauland succeed in Saxony and Brandenburg to the entry into parliament, but for at least as much hustle and bustle, makes since Höcke. In early December he mixes with even in the choice of the left-politician Bodo Ramelow for Prime Minister. Höcke offers CDU parliamentary leader Mike Mohring to the voices of the AFD deputies. “Mohring is a prolific conservative. He is a young striker and fully in the juice”, he justifies this. But to co-operate, it comes not.

plays a key role in the overthrow of Höcke also AfD founder Bernd Lucke. In March, he initiated the Erfurt Resolution, in the mainly right-wing nationalist party members calling for a conservative approach. 1800 members sign the paper which clearly directed against Lucke. In March also reports emerge, which Höcke to have written under the pseudonym “Landolf Ladig” in extreme right-wing magazines. The publicist Andreas Kemper points out in his blog attention to matching formulations and patterns of argumentation in the texts of the two. Höcke denied having anything to do with the pseudonym; an affidavit, the gap required of him, but he will not sign. The party leader calls for him then to party on exit.



“Oops, what’s the matter with that?”

But the more liberal Lucke loses the showdown. Frauke Petry and alexander gauland are against an expulsion from the party, after the fall Luckes at the party congress in July in Essen, set the case against Höcke. The has emerged stronger from the conflict. Cleavage of the AFD strengthens it represents right-wing nationalist wing of the party. Olaf Henkel, former vice Party chief says later Höcke: Originally, he was sympathetic to him. “But the way how he celebrated his triumph on election night, let me think: Oops, what’s the matter with which he is not finished with his success?.”

Höcke is no fool, he wants more. For several weeks he initiated in Thuringia his own demos “against policy failure”. Participants range from civic far into the right range. “If a priest preaches in front of his congregation, he knows not whether a devil worshiper is among” the 43-year-old says. In his speeches, he rails against “Kanak language” by the mass immigration is point “for the first time after 1000 years, the question of Finis Germaniae”.

At the end of the Jauch broadcast Höcke sets again at. “You have conditioned yourself,” he says to Jauch and thinks the presenter pursuing a kind of self-censorship. “What?”, Jauch asks, puzzled. Since SPD Attorney Heiko Maas makes a dismissive gesture. “Does not matter, let him.” Whether the AFD can so easily dismiss? Surveys show that the party is currently stable at seven per cent; the opportunities in 2017 to move into the Bundestag, are good. That Höcke the would be missed, and then stay in Thuringia, is hard to imagine.
