This afternoon....watching news from the state of Thuringia....there's this odd development.
I talked about this district election from Sunday.....runoff...AfD guy and a CDU guy. AfD guy won the race.
Well....they have something written into state law that requires a 'democracy check' by some state administrative function.
Basically, the state can review a person elected and then say that by state law....if the person cannot guarantee 'free democratic basic order within the meaning of the Basic Law and the state constitution'.....then they are 'skipped' and the next guy is reviewed.
If this review results in the AfD guy tossed....I would imagine there's going to be a big stink, and you just gave more attention to pump up public 'anger'.
If the guy were a half-wit, mafia-member, or crack-head....then I could understand the review. But since the election wrapped up, and if you were to toss the guy now.....why even bother having the election this past Sunday?
My general belief? The guy's character will come up and if he hasn't been arrested for anything, or shown some tendency to be crazy....nothing much will happen.
To be truthful....if you went and reviewed all mayors of Germany and district managers....you would probably find at least 2-percent who are alcoholics or a bit nutty. But no one seems to really care about that.
