SPYING and state repression continues in Germany some 50 years after a workplace ban which targeted leftists was introduced by the Social Democratic Party, communists warned today.
Resistance to increased militarisation and imperialist aggression against Russia and China has seen a “cold ban” on the German Communist Party (DKP) and restrictions placed on the left-wing daily newspaper Junge Welt, the party said.
The government also plans to further restrict democracy, it added, with a so-called radical restructure of the state under the new Social Democratic Party-Green-FDP coalition.
