Officials of the German Peasant Party said today in Hanover that they had met with a representative of the extremist National Democratic Party in an NDP effort to obtain peasant backing.
Peasant party leaders said that the NDP spokesman had promised support of the political aims of the peasant group if the peasants would in turn give “considerate treatment” to the NDP in the Parliamentary elections in Lower Gaxony to be held in June. The NDP, which has been described as “neo-Nazi” by West German Interior Minister Paul Luecke, will present candidates in all 95 electoral districts in Lower Saxony in its bid for a third victory in West German state elections. The NDP won Parliamentary representation for the first time last November in Hesse and Bavaria.
