At a Christmas party of the Junge Union in Mönchengladbach, the song “L’amour toujours” is said to have been used for racist slogans. An investigation is underway on suspicion of incitement.
The song “L’amour toujours” with the racist slogans “Germany for the Germans, foreigners out” is said to have been sung at the Christmas party of the Junge Union in Mönchengladbach in December 2023. When asked, the Mönchengladbach public prosecutor’s office confirmed a corresponding report in the “Rheinische Post”. Investigations are being carried out against “several accused” on suspicion of incitement to hatred.
The spokesman did not name the exact number of suspects, but spoke of “a handful.” The investigations have been ongoing for several months. The spokesman did not provide any further information about the suspects, such as their gender or party affiliation.
The police file has now been sent to the public prosecutor’s office. He stressed that the investigation is still ongoing. The public prosecutor’s office will now examine the matter “from a factual and legal perspective”.
According to the “Rheinische Post”, Mönchengladbach CDU chairman Jochen Klenner reportedly informed the district executive committee about this on Friday. “After receiving information from guests at the event, the CDU district association reacted immediately and called the police,” said a statement from the CDU Mönchengladbach, which was made available to dpa. “In consultation with state security, the CDU refrained from making any public statements at the time in order not to influence the investigation.” The district association does not want to provide any concrete information or decisions on possible internal party consequences until the entire process has been completed.
A video recently caused outrage across the country. In it, a group of young people at a party on Sylt shouted the racist slogans “Foreigners out” and “Germany for the Germans” to the song by Gigi D’Agostino. Numerous other incidents have since come to light.
