Pop rhythms, jumping, cheerful faces, steins of beer in hand. And a choral singing of a song whose refrain talks about deporting "foreigners." Such recordings from the post-election meeting of the right-wing AfD youth wing, Junge Alternative in Potsdam, are circulating online.
The participants are celebrating second place in the elections to the state parliament in Brandenburg. Although Alternative for Germany did not win, there was no sadness.
"Deportation song". Germany is still in shock
The jointly sung song encouraged the participants. The band Die Atzen added new words to the song "Das geht ab," and the chorus now sounds like "let's deport them all."
The same slogan is seen on signs held by some of the amused members of the AfD Junge Alternative youth wing. The "deportation song" reflects views that party leaders do not hide. They plan to deport all foreigners, even those who have citizenship and have lived in German states for generations.
The fun, which took place in the Potsdam inn "Zum Alten Krug," still causes disgust. Like the song's words: "This night is Germany's night, re-emigration begins." According to "Bild," the song was generated by artificial intelligence.
The portal Die Welt reports that the Brandenburg police are investigating the incident. Green politician Volker Beck wrote on X under the films that he reported the responsible persons from AfD for inciting hatred.
