Petry gave a speech in Stuttgart on Monday for German Unity Day in which she predicted a “Darwinistic” conflict between Europe’s residing “transfer payment recipients” and immigrants from the “lumpenproletariat Afro-Arabian world,” the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) reported.Petry also condemned the notion that Germany is a diverse and multicultural country – something which traditional parties often emphasize – suggesting instead that it should be ethnically homogenous.“What should someone take from the whole ‘Germany is colourful’ campaign? A compost heap is also colourful,” Petry said in the Baden-Württemberg capital.The interior minister of Baden-Württemberg, Thomas Strobl, told FAZ that Petry’s statements were “repulsive” and “despicable”.“The strategy of these people is to make people scared. Therefore we should not even get involved with them,” said Strobl, who is a member of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservative CDU party.
