Germany has passed a law in lightning speed to rid themselves of Erdoğan’s political shows. The law bars foreign leaders from holding rallies in the country.
Following the new Erdoğan rally crisis with the AKP regime, the Federal Government of Germany passed a law yesterday restricting foreign politicians’ ability to run election campaigns in the country. The law is dubbed the “Erdoğan Act” in the public, while notices have been sent to foreign representation offices in Germany.
The law concerns countries outside of the European Union. Foreign state representatives and politicians won’t be allowed to run election campaigns in the country anymore. The law issues a blanket ban to all election activity.
Furthermore, all activities planned by foreign politicians will be subject to approval by the Federal Government from now on. To hold any activity, a 10 day appeal process for permits will be mandatory.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Martin Schäfer stated that whether such permits will be granted or not will be in line with diplomatic relations. This way, Germany will both avoid tensions with Erdoğan and break the influence of the AKP regime in their country.
HOW WAS THE 'ERDOĞAN ACT' PASSED?
Turkish President Erdoğan had submitted an official request to hold a rally with his supporters during his visit in Hamburg for the G-20 Summit to be held on July 7-8. The German Foreign Ministry’s statement on Erdoğan rallies led to another crisis between Ankara and Germany.
Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel spoke during a visit to Russia and announced that Erdoğan had filed an official request to hold an activity in Germany. “There is no need for such a rally or an activity right now,” said Gabriel and objected to Erdoğan coming together with his supporters. The strongest candidate running against current Chancellor Christian Democrat Angela Merkel in the Federal Parliamentary elections this September, SPD’s Martin Schulz also demanded that Erdoğan’s rallies be officially banned.
How long will it take Erdogan the Islamist to figure out he is his own worst enemy?
He is so accustomed to Propaganda working in his own country that he believes it will work everywhere.
Headshake.
Where was this law when the magic homo-mooselimb was giving political speeches at the Brandenburg Gate?

Germany shows a tiny bit of backbone towards islam; it shouldn’t take them long to suck it back in.
Obama never called them Nazi’s.
And besides, Obama was “one of them” (Socialist/Marxist).
Exactly. Germany was Obama’s political playground.
German people are so smart and disciplined on some levels, but so very crippled on the level of an acceptable government.
They have always accepted power from the top with little resistance.
We could use such a law to prevent Mexican rabble-rousers from coming to Southern California, trying to stir up the illegals. Vicente Fox, I’m looking at you!
CA needs help on lots of levels.
This theme was used centuries ago by J.S.Bach;
Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme.
A charming organ intro called ‘Sleepers Awake!’
Well evidently the German government really “get’s it”. Smile.
Does this include Obama going to Berlin shilling for the Democrats, and doing the shuck and jive for Merkel and anti-Trumpers?
That law will just as easily be rescinded the next time Obama goes to Berlin.
But does this mean that no more Reagan at the wall speeches, either?
Don’t hold your breath. It was not written specifically for Erdogan. It is for all foreign political officials.
Yes, it appears to be so. But I did not read the bill specifically, only the summary of what it was.
Of course they are probably like us, no expost facto bills are allowed.
