Political positions

In January 2016, a post was discussed on his private Facebook page, where he commented on the sexual assault on New Year's Eve in Cologne : "Apparently some of the refugees are in full bloom and are bursting with excess energy [...] Why are these ' Quitters' into our country and trample our culture instead of fighting for their country and their families at home. That would be m. E. really masculine. "
