German In-Crowd Hates Diversity…Of Thought!
The ‘foundations’ operated – and funded – by the German Government are basically a gigantic legal rip-off which gives political parties vast sums of tax-payers’ money….
.
…to be used by bloated partisan ‘think-tanks,’ which pump out propaganda, stage seminars, groom potential leaders and legislators…
.
.
…and do many other things which, IMHO, principled politicians would not expect citizens to subsidise.
.

But this scandalous German ‘snouts in the trough’ racket has been ruled legitimate..
– as much as anything can be, in a country where the ‘constitution’ aka ‘Basic Law’ has never been legitimised by popular ballot –
…and thus you’d think there would be no argument that all parties in parliament are entitled to proportionally similar benefits.
The article I quote from is written by a man given to describing far-left agitprop outfits as ‘anti-racist….
…and civil society groups.’
Even he, though, concedes my conclusion above, his stance definitely not due to any sympathy with the party victimised by the political establishment – which is, unsurprisingly…
..the patriot party, the AfD, denied even a nominal payment for its Desiderius-Erasmus-Stiftung (DES)
‘On May 19, the Bundestag’s budget committee confirmed that the DES would once again not receive public money this year.’

However, there’s hope yet for fair play, despite the mean-spirited PC discrimination…
…deployed by the in-crowd, who plainly fear the effect that an empowered AfD might have.
