AfD politician uses Goebbels as a ringtone

Angelika Brotschi, an AfD municipal politician in Böblingen, has come under scrutiny after allegedly using the phrase 'Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg' as a phone greeting. Authorities are investigating whether this constitutes a violation of Germany's constitutional law, which prohibits the use of unconstitutional symbols. The text notes that quoting Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, alone is not illegal. Brotschi claims only the quote is used, not any unconstitutional song. She declined to comment further.

Angelika Brotschi, eine AfD-Kommunalpolitikerin im Gemeinderat von Böblingen, ist in die Kritik geraten, weil sie als Klingelansage den Satz „Wollt ihr den totalen Krieg“ verwendet haben soll. Nach Auskunft des Polizeipräsidiums Ludwigsburg und nach einem Bericht der „Stuttgarter Zeitung“ wird gegen die AfD-Politikerin ermittelt, weil möglicherweise ein Verstoß gegen Paragraph 86a des Strafgesetzbuches vorliegt.

Die Norm verbietet die Verwendung verfassungswidriger Symbole. Die Verwendung des Zitats des Reichspropagandaministers der NSDAP, Joseph Goebbels, allein ist nicht strafbar.

Die Frage ist, ob die AfD-Politikerin auch ein verfassungsfeindliches Lied verwendet hat. Nach eigener Aussage befindet sich nur das Zitat auf der Smartphone-Ansage.

Die 63 Jahre alte ehrenamtliche Kommunalpolitikerin und Fahrlehrerin verweigerte das Gespräch mit der F.A.Z., indem sie den Anruf kurzum beendet.
