The only witness today was a former officer of the Thuringian secret service who was to testify on the ideological character of a meeting in Hetendorf on the property of Neonazi and attorney J\u00fcrgen Rieger from Hamburg. According to police reports, Zsch\u00e4pe had visited that meeting in 1997 \u2013 unaccompanied by Mundlos or B\u00f6hnhardt. However, the witness stopped working at the secret service long ago and did not remember anything relevant.<\/p>\n
The Wohlleben defense again brought several motions for evidence with which they wish to prove that Wohlleben was not \u201cxenophobic\u201d and had had no knowledge of Mundlos\u2019 and B\u00f6hnhardt\u2019s racism. Inter alia, defense counsel Nahrath quoted at length from a flyer authored by Wohlleben in which his client propounds \u201cethnopluralist\u201d ideology.<\/p>\n
The court has so far been rather hesitant to consider Wohlleben\u2019s racist ideology. If the motions brought by the defense force the court to consider this question in more detail, this is to be welcomed. A more in-depth consideration of the \u201cethnopluralism\u201d which Wohlleben espouses \u2013 considering also his v\u00f6lkische conception of the \u201cGerman people\u201d \u2013 will show that this is simply a \u201cmodernized\u201d form of racism which avoids use of the word race, but which has the same murderous consequences. The theory of ethnopluralism was conceived by \u201cNew Right\u201d circles in the 1970s, as a reaction to classical National Socialist ideology falling out of favor, but at the same time as a further development of historical National Socialist conceptions of Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
