/ 100
Mostly True
Germany
Germany's largest police union distanced itself from statements by its deputy chair, Sven Huber, who urged against voting for the AfD and suggested a state crisis if the party wins in Saxony-Anhalt. The union clarified that police officers' voting rights are unaffected by their oath.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (64/100).
The claims regarding the statements made by Sven Huber and the police union's response are supported by multiple high-reliability sources. The union did distance itself from Huber's statements about the AfD, and Huber did advise against voting for the AfD. Additionally, the claim about police officers potentially violating their oath by supporting the AfD is corroborated by evidence that the party is seen as incompatible with upholding the democratic order. However, the claim about preparing for a state crisis if the AfD wins in Saxony-Anhalt lacks direct evidence of Huber's specific call for such preparations, though concerns about the AfD's impact are noted. The union's clarification about voting rights is a general statement supported by reliable sources.
