German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has banned a major faction of the far-right “Reichsbürger” movement. Some leaders of the group, the “Kingdom of Germany,” have been arrested, including its self-declared king.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has banned the far-right group “Königreich Deutschland” (“Kingdom of Germany”), a faction within the so-called “Reichsbürger” (Reich Citizens) movement, accusing it of trying to establish a “counter-state” within Germany.
The ban came as police on Tuesday conducted raids on the properties of key members of the group in seven German states, making four arrests, including that of Peter Fitzek, the self-declared monarch of the “Kingdom.”
Security authorities believe Fitzek to have founded the group in 2012.
In Brazil the monarchists get some sympathy because emperor Pedro II was the only competent and halfway decent leader the country ever had.
The bumbling idiot that managed to be the last leader to abolish slavery on the whole continent is now “a halfway decent leader”. Give me a break.
I don’t disagree, but still better than all the other leaders the country had.
The following dictatorship put up a lot of antimonarchist propaganda, but still today abolishing slavery is celebrated by all as an achievement of his government.
(Note: I’m not a monarchist)
This is blatantly false, but you’re entitled to have your (wrong) opinion.
Not false, I also don’t like it, but I’m not wrong.
Pedro II put Brazil well on it’s way to become a global superpower.
The only one that came somewhat close was later Getúlio Vargas, but he was an asshole cruel dictator.
Maybe Lula in his first and second terms might deserve a distant third place.
