STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBERLIN - An antisemitic flyer distributed at a German secondary school more than three decades ago is at the centre of a dispute that threatens to engulf Hubert Aiwanger, deputy premier of Bavaria, ahead of a regional election in the state later this year.
"These are serious allegations. This flyer is hateful and revolting," said Bavaria's conservative premier, Markus Soeder."The charges have to be cleared up, and fully." Late on Saturday, Aiwanger issued a statement saying he had not written the flyer, a copy or copies of which were merely found in his schoolbag, and that the person who had done so, whose name he knew, would come forward of his own accord.The leaders of the Social Democrats and Greens in Bavaria, said Aiwanger must stand down if he was the author of the flyer.
