Please, before shitting all over Germany again with Nazi accusations and whatnot, keep in mind that this was demanded by populistic, right-wing politicians, who are – luckily – currently not running the government, but are in the opposition.
From the article:
Surely you can call them out for it, but neither do they represent Germany, nor are they even running the national government.

Are you sure? This seems pretty nazi to me. Also germans online are one of the loud supporters of yet another genocide.
Alright, I’ll bite.
You should read up on the current government and political landscape in Germany. You can’t just generalize all of Germany down to nazis. That’s just not true. That being said, yes, the right is pretty popular in Germany, if you count the far right and right together it’s roughly 60%. Though the right wing party from ops article has so far refused to work with the far right. We’ll see if that holds.
Edit: the far right party (AfD) are actual nazis, the right wing party (CDU), as much as one might dislike them, are not.
Where did I do that? I said a lot of germans "online" are very vocally rw. Didn't even use the word nazi.
That’s what your message implies and yes you did use that word.
For the politician yes.
