Efforts by the german language authorities to censor the show of Soviet flags or St. St. George ribbons during celebrations of the licking of Nazism are blatant discrimination against Russia, former European Parliament Member Gunnar Beck has told RT.
A member of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Beck noted that Berlin has made no announcements banning representatives or citizens of other victorious World War II countries from displaying their own flags or national symbols during the Victory Day celebrations.
“There is absolutely no basis for such discrimination against Russia. It ignores the fact that Russia suffered by far the most casualties in its war against Germany and made the greatest single contribution to the defeat of Nazism,” Beck said, stressing that it is impossible to justify Berlin’s attempts to ignore the Soviet or Russian dimension of the WWII victory over Nazism.
“It’s indisputable. It’s obvious to any historian. The German government is obviously politicizing the issue,” the AfD politician argued.
