The Federal Association of the German Waste Management, Water and Recycling Industry (BDE) has parted company with Peter Kurth. The background to this are reports about the BDE President's private connections to right-wing extremists. \u201eWe strongly distance ourselves from right-wing ideas. We have therefore parted company with Peter Kurth immediately,\u201c the association wrote in a short statement. Right-wing extremism, racism or anti-Semitism have no place in the BDE.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The news magazine \u201eDer Spiegel\u201c had reported that former Berlin CDU finance senator Peter Kurth had received visits to his private flat last summer from AfD politician Maximilian Krah, publisher G\u00f6tz Kubitschek and far-right activist Martin Sellner from Austria, among others. As a result, the Federal Association of the German Waste Management, Water and Recycling Industry (BDE) announced the immediate separation from Kurth as Executive President.<\/p>\n

Kurth's term of office at the head of the BDE would have expired at the end of January anyway. Until the takeover by the new President Anja Siegesmund<\/strong> in June by the association's managing director Andreas Bruckschen, reports the business service EUWID.<\/p>

Ingemar B\u00fchler, Managing Director of PlasticsEurope Germany, comments on LinkedIn<\/a>\u201eI am appalled and shocked. Anyone who makes pacts with the enemies of democracy has no place in our midst.<\/strong> The darkest chapters of our history are once again looming right before our eyes without us seeing them. The greatest danger comes from those we cannot see. That is why we must show our faces - for a strong democracy and a liberal society.\u201c<\/p>\n
