Twenty members of Parliament introduced a motion today expressing anxiety over the rise of neo-Nazism in West Germany. The motion, which has Sir Barnett Janner as one of its sponsors, was prompted by the success of the extreme right-wing National Democratic Party in the Baden-Wurttemburg state elections last Sunday.
(In Antwerp, an international congress of former inmates of the Mauthausen concentration camp adopted a resolution warning against the revival of Nazism in Germany and other countries.)
(In Bonn today. Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger warned during a Bundestag debate that votes for the ultra-rightist National Democratic Party could harm the country. But, he said, the “global conviction” that the NPD’s electoral successes implied a revival of Nazism in West Germany was “not true” and a “terrible over-simplification.” He appealed to world opinion to have faith in German democracy.)
