The far-right party, predicted to finish second in tomorrow's election, doesn't need to win—core parts of its agenda have already become mainstream.

    No censorship of speech has always been liberal. /s Also its kidna funny how eastern european countries now have stronger foundations of liberal democracy than germany, since statements like “from the river to the sea” are not criminalized as antisemitic.

      For something to be “criminalized”, it needs to be criminal. Antisemitism isn’t a crime in Germany, so branding something as such might be propaganda but has no legal consequences.

        Ah sorry I believe that in Germany they call it incitement to hate or something like that, which is criminal.

        edit: from a very quick search I found this http://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2024/8/6/german-court-fines-woman-for-from-the-river-to-the-sea-chant which meand that by this judicature it is directly criminal. Also this source https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/international/europe/1699528989-berlin-criminalizes-slogan-from-the-river-to-the-sea-palestine-will-be-free. But here I dont know how reliable this source is
