"Always in Love" - The Leipzig city festival isn't perturbed by D'Agostino's hits.

Organizers of significant events like the Munich Oktoberfest and the EM Fanfest in Berlin have concluded not to play a specific song under any condition. However, the ones in charge of the Leipzig City Festival, which is anticipated to draw up to 300,000 attendees from Friday to Sunday, are not concerned with it.

"Discriminatory and sexist prejudice has no place here - we also ensure that our staff are aware of these issues," says Stadtfest-Bernd Hochmuth to the LVZ. "Therefore, there is no prohibition here." According to Hochmuth, outlawing a song for a significant event is ridiculous.

The patrons of the Leipzig City Festival can anticipate a comprehensive program, independent of "L'amour tojours." Among the anticipated acts are pop artists like Anaìˆs, Marquess, or Magic Affair, the Austrian dance hit singer Emi Fleming, Acina, and Valexus.

Apart from that, the giant Ferris wheel, the celebrated high-wire artists Geschwister Weisheit, Leipzig dance groups, the ensemble of the Musical Comedy, and the Youth Symphony Orchestra of the Johann Sebastian Bach Music School will be present.

Outrageous occurrences in Sylt, Hamburg, and Cloppenburg

Germany has been stunned for days by the repulsive episodes occurring on Sylt and the Nazi controversy.

A group of obviously wealthy young people at the elegant town of Kampen in Sylt filmed themselves singing "L'amour toujours" by the Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino "Germany for the Germans, foreigners out!" and offering the infamous Nazi salute at the swanky "Pony" club.

Shortly following the Nazi scandal from the balcony of the luxurious "Pony" club in Kampen on Sylt, another clip with similar repulsive content emerged from Cloppenburg (Lower Saxony). These events took place throughout the Pentecost weekend. The disparity: Here, rather than a trivial few, a whole flock of young people sang "Foreigners out" and "Germany for the Germans" to the dancefloor hit.

During the Schlagermove festival recently in Hamburg, where 400,000 individuals celebrated, the tune was utilized for racism and xenophobia.

These events should make everyone who does not entirely disregard German history nauseous.
