German singer Heino has demanded compensation from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party after a politician used his image in election advertising without authorization.
Heino, a prominent schlager music icon, is pursuing damages for pain and suffering over the unauthorized use of his likeness. The incident raises questions about celebrities' legal protections against political appropriation.
The AfD has been criticized repeatedly for attempting to claim cultural symbols and figures as supporting the party's nationalist agenda.
