@parismarx

Is this an "AfD" rally?

@frumble @stanleyHootzz Real question: Is that legal in Germany? Many countries have laws stating that people who aren't citizens or residents can't engage politically.

He'd probably do it regardless... But speaking at a rally would put a lot of weight behind the foreign interference claim. More so than just spewing bullshit in random posts on X.

@rhoot @stanleyHootzz I’m not a lawyer but he isn’t technically engaging when he is just speaking at the AfD party’s campaign event.

@frumble @stanleyHootzz By engaging I don't just mean interfering with the vote or getting involved in policies, but also demonstrating, rallying, funding, etc. The actual restrictions differ from country to country.

I'm also not a lawyer (especially not a German one), but speaking at a rally is arguably an attempt to sway a large audience of people politically. Would be interesting to know if that's over the line in Germany.

@rhoot @frumble @stanleyHootzz actually there's an important tradition to include views from "outside". I've seen many people on stage from the global south at the rally of the German Greens, government officials from European partner countries, people from international organizations. Limiting political speech only to citizens is dangerous, at least if you have as many neighbors and partners as Germany in the center of Europe. Not having anyone from anywhere else seems quite "American" to me …

@patrick @frumble @stanleyHootzz Yeah, that's a fair argument. But it could also be dangerous if you're too open. At some point their influence on voters can become significant enough to sway an election. It's a hard line to draw.

@rhoot @frumble @stanleyHootzz well, I am far less concerned about the influence being invited to a party rally. I am much more worried about the influence, Musk's money buys himself anywhere in the world.
