The German lower house of parliament approved on Thursday a draft law that would prohibit civil servants, soldiers and judges from wearing a full face veil at work, Reuters reported.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel had expressed support in December for a ban on burqas “wherever legally possible.”

The law must now be approved by the upper house, the Bundesrat.

“We should make clear and impart our values and where the boundaries of our tolerance towards other cultures lie,” German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said about the move. “The draft law we have agreed on makes an important contribution to that.”

The AfD is a crazy mixed-up party with a lot of different angles to it.

Go look at the platform of Pegida from the end of 2014. They were the big focus group that helped AfD take off with it’s agenda. From the political platform....Pegida made it clear that acceptance of sexuality (whatever the game) was part of their agenda ahead.

Go look at Le Pen....she’s attracted a fair number of gay groups across France.

I don’t think anyone knows what AfD will evolve into within the next five years. Remember, they started out just as an anti-Euro party.

The descriptor “civil servants” is such BS. Civil parasites is much, much more accurate.
