The deputy governor of Germany’s Bavaria state has defended himself against mounting allegations that he was responsible for an antisemitic flyer, that he gave the Hitler salute, and that he imitated the Nazi dictator as a high school student.
. He ordered him to answer a detailed questionnaire to clear himself of any possible involvement in the scandal.Among several issues, Aiwanger has so far not explained why he was carrying the flyers in his school bag.
At his press statement on Tuesday, Aiwanger also tried depicting himself as the victim of a smear campaign.The head of the country’s leading Jewish group, the Central Council of Jews in Germany, welcomed the apology but dismissed Aiwanger’s efforts to present himself as the actual victim. The scandal comes at an especially inconvenient time for Soeder, who is also the CSU leader. Bavaria has a state election scheduled for Oct. 8., and Soeder is hoping to continue leading Germany’s southernmost state in a coalition with Aiwanger and his Free Voters.
