A far-right political leader was ejected from a sitting of the state assembly of Mecklenburg-West Pomerania state in Germany on Thursday after he railed against Jews immigrating to Germany, according to DPA. The debate was halted after Udo Pastoers, who leads six members of the anti-immigrant National Democratic Party NPD in the parliament, called for an audit of the "true costs of immigration." He then attacked "parasites" and criticised Jewish immigration. The house speaker, Renate Holznagel, rebuked him. After another NPD deputy objected, she halted the debate and consulted with the other parties. She then told Pastoers he could not attend the rest of the day's proceedings. The NDP denies it is Nazi, but its nationalist, anti-foreigner message and its outreach to overtly neo-Nazi groups have made it a pariah for Germany's mainstream parties.
