German police threaten to defy AfD orders if party takes power

Germany’s police union has called on officers to defy any “unconstitutional” orders if the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party comes to power.

Sven Hüber, the deputy president of the Union of Police, compared the hard-Right party to the Nazis, and said it was incumbent upon officers to uphold the constitution.

“You can’t swear an oath on the constitution and ally with its enemies at the same time,” wrote Mr Hüber in the lead article in the police union’s magazine.

I think Sven needs some remedial democracy lessons.
