A far-right party in Germany is promising consistent deportations and even free Russian lessons for Saxony-Anhalt if elected.<\/p>\n

The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) chapter, based in the previous East Germany, outlined the party\u2019s manifesto ahead of elections in September.<\/p>\n

Lead candidate Ulrich Siegmund said: \u2018We are saying yes to consistent deportations.\u2019<\/p>\n

The manifesto, seen by CNN, is advocating for what they call a \u2018180-degree turn\u2019 in migration and is campaigning for \u2018remigration\u2019, which has been linked to Nazi rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Remigration advocates for the deportation of immigrants and refugees \u2013 mainly specializing in non-white immigrants \u2013 back to their countries. Even refugees who fled from Ukraine in the course of the war can be considered.<\/p>\n

The party also spoke out against what it calls \u2018anti-Russian policies\u2019 of the present political parties.<\/p>\n

The manifesto says the \u2018anti-Russian policies\u2019 of the federal government aren\u2019t in Germany\u2019s interest (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018The present anti-Russian policies of the established political parties, nevertheless, will not be in Germany\u2019s interest. They’re dividing Europe,\u2019 they wrote.<\/p>\n

The AfD desires to lift all sanctions against Russia and vowed to introduce free Russian lessons to counter the \u2018anti-Russian\u2019 sentiment they claim is rampant in Germany.<\/p>\n

Last month, it was revealed that German authorities are concerned about AfD leaking sensitive information to Russia or China.<\/a><\/p>\n

MPs fear their AfD colleagues are actively leaking intelligence to foreign powers \u2013 including military and security matters. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a difficulty prior to now. In 2024, Germany spilt British military secrets in what was called the worst breach because the Cold War.<\/p>\n

Ingo Gerhartz, the Luftwaffe air force Lieutenant General, was speaking with other officers and a general in regards to the technique of delivering Storm Shadow missiles to\u00a0Ukraine.<\/p>\n

But a recording of the 38-minute call was broadcast on Russian state television, with Mr Gerhartz heard claiming \u2018British troops were already on the bottom\u2019 \u2013 a highly sensitive detail which has fearful fellow Nato allies.<\/p>\n

Then-German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said the \u2018very serious leak\u2019 can be investigated.<\/p>\n

The AfD\u2019s apparent affinity for Russia is in stark contrast to Germany\u2019s announcement that it could prepare for a \u2018potential Russian attack in the following two years\u2019.<\/p>\n

Lieutenant General Gerald Funke, the top of the\u00a0German\u00a0armed forces support command (UstgKdoBw), told The Times that Russian \u2018hybrid warfare\u2019 is his biggest concern, together with casualties.<\/p>\n

\u2018Whereas in\u00a0Afghanistan\u00a0I had a regrettably high but manageable variety of wounded, I now must plan for the potential for a thousand injured personnel a day, \u2018he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018The closer you have a look at it, the more complex it becomes and the harder it’s to assume.\u2019<\/p>\n
