Fake One-Way Plane Tickets Sent to Migrant Families in Germany Ahead of Elections
Alternative for Germany’s (AfD), a far-right populist party, has been accused of sending fake one-way plane tickets to migrant families in Germany. The tickets, which were labeled with a departure date of February 23, the day of the country’s national election, were posted in mailboxes in neighborhoods with a high number of migrants.
The flyers, which were labeled “From: Germany – To: Safe country of origin,” featured AfD’s slogan “No Islamisation” on the back. The stunt has been condemned as a possible case of incitement to hatred by police, who are investigating the incident.
AfD has denied specifically targeting migrant neighborhoods, claiming that the flyers are intended to make voters aware of their demands to deport migrants who are in the country illegally. The party’s national leaders have also been advertising their radical proposals to deport migrants en masse ahead of the elections.
The stunt comes as the party’s national leaders continue to promote their radical proposals to deport migrants en masse ahead of the elections. AfD’s chancellor candidate Alice Weidel has confirmed that the party would enact “large-scale repatriations” if it comes to power.
