Bavaria order to put crosses on public buildings kicks in

Munich (Germany) (AFP) - A controversial decree requiring Christian crucifixes to be put up at entrances of most public buildings in Bavaria came into force Friday, sparking accusations of identity politics ahead of elections in the southern German state.

Markus Soeder, Bavaria's conservative state premier, had initiated the measure in April, saying "the cross is a fundamental symbol of our Bavarian identity and way of life".

But the order sparked an outcry, with critics accusing Soeder of politicising a religious symbol as his CSU party battles to claw back voters who have turned to the far-right and Islamophobic AfD ahead of state election in October.

It's a good thing, I admit at the same time, some of this can be political maneuvering.

"Identity" politics?
Really, what's so bad about that?

Those white/Christian Germans had better ACQUIRE some "identity" -- enough to understand that they HAVE identity as a culture and ethnic group, that such identity is worth protecting, and that there's an entirely different and incompatible growing cohort of invaders in their country who have no self-doubts about THEIR "identity".

And that if they don't take bold steps to defend their "German identity", they ain't gonna have it that many decades longer.

I sense Euro-Americans will face the same decision in our own future... some years' off yet, but... it's coming.
