The Verden regional court in Lower Saxony has upheld a verdict against Rotenburg AfD leader Marie-Thérèse Kaiser for incitement to hatred. The 27-year-old was also found guilty in the appeal hearing on Monday of inciting hatred against Afghan local workers.
For this, the politician now has to pay 100 day fines (a type of fine related to daily income of the convicted) plus a fine of €60, a total of €6,000. In Germany, you are considered to have a criminal record if you are sentenced to pay more than 90 day fines.
The charge was based on a post that Kaiser had spread on her social media accounts in August 2021. In it, she wrote: "Afghanistan refugees; Hamburg SPD mayor for 'unbureaucratic' acceptance; Welcoming culture for gang rape?"
Among other things, the politician linked to an article showing that Afghans in Germany are particularly heavily involved in gang rape.
The verdict has now also caught the attention of X CEO Elon Musk. He retweeted a post summarizing the punishment and wrote: "Are you saying the penalty was imposed for repeating accurate government statistics? Was there anything wrong with what she said?"

Hardly Conservative by any stretch of the imagination. Keep in mind, the Far Right in European terms, includes Fascism, hardly comparable to anything in our country or reality.
Even Canada's Rightwing is a melted down version of 60s DNC, more moderate than anything. They have a long way to go to get out from under the Crown.
Point being, the ADF is hardly rightwing in comparison to the Conservative base in the US.
