Jörg Prophet, who wants Germany to abandon its ‘guilt cult’, could become party’s first city mayor
Directors of a memorial at a former Nazi concentration camp have raised alarm about the revisionist views of a far-right politician expected to become its local mayor, saying he will be barred from attending events to commemorate the Holocaust if he is elected.
Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany) politician Jörg Prophet last Sunday finished almost 20 points clear of the runner-up at municipal elections in Nordhausen, a city of about 42,000 in the eastern state of Thuringia.
