Berlin AfD Faces Backlash Over Misspelled Campaign Poster
A spelling error on a Berlin AfD campaign poster has drawn ridicule online, overshadowing their intended political message.
- The Berlin branch of the AfD mistakenly printed 'Deutschand' instead of 'Deutschland' on a campaign poster promoting their slogan 'Enkel gegen Links.'
- The poster was shared on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by AfD candidate Michael Gleichmann, sparking widespread mockery.
- The campaign aimed to counter protests by groups like 'Omas gegen Rechts,' which oppose right-wing extremism and AfD policies.
- Social media users ridiculed the party for the error, calling it emblematic of broader incompetence and generating memes such as 'Rechte gegen Rechtschreibung.'
- The Berlin AfD later deleted the post without explanation, further fueling criticism and speculation about the mishap.
