Politicians from several parties in the northeastern German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania said they hoped to ban the HDJ (Homeland-Loyal German Youth) group, which arose from the ashes of the banned Viking Youth.
“I think the police found enough information and material to provide the German Interior Ministry a solid basis for such a ban,” said conservative state parliamentarian Armin Jäger.
Police on Sunday disbanded a HDJ camp near the northern port city of Rostock after neighbours complained of objectionable morning wake-up calls and pledges.
