maybe julstar has some input on this??


German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schauble has shut down two far-right organisations, describing them as "reservoirs" of Holocaust deniers.

In a statement, the interior ministry said the authorities had raided 30 sites linked to the groups, which were based in three western German states.

Mr Schauble said they had been involved in "disseminating anti-Semitic propaganda" and glorifying the Nazis.

Holocaust denial is a criminal offence under German law.

The interior ministry said both groups had violated Germany's constitution.

They were named as Collegium Humanum and the Association for the Rehabilitation of Those Persecuted for Questioning the Holocaust, and were said to be based in Lower Saxony, Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia.

That's typical for the twisted news here in germany. People get told that german constitution was violated. It's a joke. As fact is Germany that does not have a constitution at all.

The only thing Germany has is the so-called "Grundgesetz" which is a WWII-winners dictate which was forced upon the german people without having given them the chance to vote for or against it.

The Germany Grundgesetz is a best a substitute for a true constitution, and is even by its only text saying that it is NOT a constitution.

What is why the above post is basically nonsense and contradicting itself.
As one cannot violate something that does not exist.
