He got 67 percent for the SPD |
Munich’s old mayor Ude settles with “woken moral guardians”.
He is the most successful mayor the SPD has ever had…
Christian Ude ruled the Bavarian state capital from 1993 to 2014 and achieved results that not only the SPD dreams of today. 61 percent, 64 percent, 67 percent … Only the legal age limit stopped the popular politician at some point.
Ude is now 74 and a pensioner, but keeps getting involved in political debates. Most recently this Saturday on Facebook – with only eleven lines, which are really tough!
Trigger: Singer and local politician Roland Hefter (55, SPD) had himself in a post excited about that recently a band’s concert in Bern was canceled because the musicians were playing reggae. She was accused of “cultural appropriation”. Means: As white people they are not allowed to do that. Her behavior is inconsiderate and racist. And on top of that, one of them would have worn dreadlocks.
Hefter clearly: “European bands play reggae and country, Arabic musicians play Beethoven and Mozart – and that’s a good thing! I’m happy about every African or Chinese in lederhosen and dirndl and every young person, no matter where they come from, if they wear dreadlocks and dreadlocks, if they like it.”
“This is what old Nazis dreamed of when I was young”
The most prominent commentator under the post: the long-standing mayor. “Dear Roland, thank you very much for your refreshing words,” writes Ude. And further: “Without ‘cultural appropriation’ there would be no jazz in Europe. That’s what old Nazis dreamed of when I was young. And only the philistines from the ‘clean screen’ were as strict and prone to prohibition as the moral watchdogs of the woke generation are today. After all, at that time one was still allowed to say without objection that there are men and women at all…”
Rumms.
The “Clean Screen Campaign” was a conservative initiative in the 1960s that wanted to censor the alleged “dirt and trash” from the cinema screens and was so restrictive that even the Catholic Church distanced itself. The comparison with the woken moral guardians of today – a hearty attack by SPD man Ude.
There’s applause under his comment: “It can’t be expressed any better”, “You’re right”, “Thank you for the clear words”.
When those addressed get THAT pointed…
Denigrating Ude as a racist and LGBTQ hater is likely to be difficult: the SPD politician was the first mayor in Germany to take over the patronage of a “Christopher Street Day” – and ran in front. And the determined fight against racism and right-wing radicalism was one of the hallmarks of his 21-year tenure.
