All aspects of Big Government are potential vehicles for tyranny — even Germany’s Federal Ministry for Housing, Urban Development, and Building.

Brussels Signal reports:

On April 2, construction minister Verena Hubertz (Social Democratic Party, SPD) presented the new “Bill on the Modernisation of Urban Planning and Regional Planning Legislation”, promising easier new builds and safer cityscapes.

Sounds nice, but buried deep within:

The new bill, should it be adopted by parliament in its current form, would give German municipalities a right of first refusal to buy up properties that are about to be sold to people who would use them for “activities directed against the free democratic basic order…”

“Activities directed against the free democratic basic order” is Liberalese for “countermoonbattery.”

The bill also clarifies that these activities would not have to be illegal for the municipality to step in…

The intended target is probably the largest opposition party, Alternative für Deutschland, which opposes the ongoing displacement of the German population.

In the past, the label of “anti-constitutionality” has habitually been applied to the AfD by mainstream politics and media. SPD especially has repeatedly pushed for labelling AfD “anti-constitutional” with the goal of banning the entire party outright.

As American Democrats would put it, AfD is a threat to Our Democracy.

Observers are warning that the new law may set the stage for political “ideology tests” for real estate buyers – as the municipality could use its right of first refusal to buy up properties that right-wingers would be interested in acquiring.

You do not need to be a student of German history to see where this is heading.
