BERLIN (AP) — Germany’s parliament on Thursday lifted the immunity of a prominent far-right lawmaker with the Alternative for Germany party, after which authorities searched his home and offices following a court order.

    NO immunity for German nazis! Root them out, and disband their party immediately.

    Stop taking it easy on the nazis, Germany. It’s easier to get rid of them BEFORE they illegally steal all the power.

    Why did he have “immunity” in the first place? Why does anyone get immunity while normal citizens do not

      The idea is that the government can not prosecute other members of parliament that the ruling party might not like.

      You need to sufficient evidence and a majority must vote to remove immunity.

      Its a result of the faschos, of course.

        Greece has a similar law in place. It is one of the main reasons why eventually corruption permeated greece.

    Fuck yyeeeeaaah

    Krah has had it coming for a long time now. One of the most publicly and actively corrupt politicians we have.

    Every now and then our parliament comes through and leverages the full force of the constitution.
