Notably the dude who resigned is an actual, literal neo-Nazi (except it was all a joke!) who eg. spoke at a rally held by a group affiliated with neo-Nazis and had an aide who was also an actual neo-Nazi who’d posted multiple comments on social media idolizing Hitler etc.
So he resigned and then the extreme right wing party did the only rational thing they could and replaced him with a pedophile neo-Nazi. I wish I was kidding.
