Germany Friday said there are no plans for an Austrian-style “Islam map” following calls by a prominent German politician of Chancellor Angel Merkel’s Christian Democratic Party who voiced support for the controversial initiative
Member of the Chamber of Representatives of Belgium and Head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Belgian Parliament H E Els Van Hoof, who is also a member of the Christian Democratic Party, met yesterday at the parliament’s headquarters in Brussels with Ambassador of the State of Qatar to the Kingdom of Belgium.
Germany’s commissioner for eastern Germany Macro Wanderwitz (CDU) has sparked controversy with comments that some people in the region have not yet properly grasped democracy – and this ahead of local elections in Saxony-Anhalt set for 6 June where far-right party AfD is set to have more than 20% of the vote.
“We’re dealing with people who have partly been socialised by a dictatorship in such a way that they haven’t yet arrived in democracy even 30 years later,” said Wanderwitz on a podcast for the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper, adding that he could only hope for the coming generations.
Chancellor Angela Merkel of the same Christian Democratic Party (CDU) refuted his statements on Wednesday.
