Pastörs was considered one of the leading cadres within the traditional right-wing extremist scene in Germany until AfD emerged.[1] Criminal investigations were repeatedly initiated against Pastörs. He was convicted several times for incitement to hatred and Holocaust denial and openly represented racist and anti-Semitic views. His political positions are based on historical National Socialism.[2]
