Thanks for listening to the Town Hall Review with Hugh Hewitt podcast, bringing to you the best voices on the stories and issues that matter.

Here's another piece I'll trust you enjoy.

Joining us now is Marie, Terese, Kaiser, a member of Germany's AFD party.

Ooh, scary.

Marie, welcome back to the program.

Tell us what is going on in your country and also the status of your criminal case where you were targeted and had to pay a fine for what exactly. Please get our audience up to speed.

Yes, we already talked about my case in your show and I had to pay the fine.

I had to pay 6,000 euros for asking a critical question on social media to the illegal

immigration and the migration crisis in Germany because politicians wanted to get refugees from Afghanistan without any background check or security

check to Germany. And I asked them whether they wanted to have a welcome culture for

rapists, group rapists, because statistically speaking, the Afghan refugees are proportionately more

committing sexual crimes. So yeah, that was the case and I got fined and there is nothing new.

But I had an interesting experience because during this election campaign right now,

I had a panel discussion at a school and I got asked by a student about my conviction for sedition.

And yeah, what I didn't know was that the state security service was in the audience and

secretly recording my statement.

And then they reported it to the public prosecutor's office to initiate an investigation against me again,

just because I told the student why I got convicted in the past.

So, yeah, that's the situation in Germany. J.D. Vance is all the way right.

I mean, I hope everyone understands Germany is not a free society, does not embrace freedom of speech, which brings us to the immediate election this Sunday. You are a member of the AFD party, which has come under major sanctions and major investigations by your own government. What is happening this Sunday

and what are the stakes of your upcoming election? Yes, that's right. I think there is a lack of

political will from the other parties to really initiate political change because the perpetrators are not deported.
