Far-right German Politician Faces Trial for Alleged Use of Nazi Slogan

TL;DR Summary
Björn Höcke, a prominent figure in the far-right Alternative for Germany party, is standing trial for allegedly using a Nazi slogan, "Everything for Germany!" He faces charges of using symbols of unconstitutional organizations and could potentially receive a prison sentence. Höcke's influence within the party has grown as it has shifted further to the right, and his regional branch is under official surveillance as a "proven right-wing extremist" group. Despite his strong support in polls, it is unlikely that any other party will agree to work with him, making forming governing coalitions in the state complicated.
