When the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany in what used to be East Germany officially convened in May, the oldest member, Rudi Wiechmann, opened the session saying, “I would like to paraphrase Rosa Luxemburg: Freedom is always the freedom of the different-thinking individual.” Wiechmann was elected on a platform of “German Jobs for Germans” and “Foreign Bandits Out.” He is one of sixteen representatives of the German People’s Union (DVU), which garnered 13 percent of the vote in state elections in Saxony-Anhalt this past April. On September 27 the DVU will be one of three far-right parties competing in federal elections.
