*Bavaria’s deputy leader faces accusations over antisemitic pamphlet* published 35 years ago when he was 17 years old. At the time, he was determined to be the author of it.

From the descriptions in the article, the pamphlet repeatedly mocked the holocaust, and that's undeniably antisemitic. But people's views often change from age 17 to age 52. He may not be antisemitic today.

As an official, in recent years, he has endorsed various far-right views. Even if he has dropped antisemitism, those other statements are enough to make him a bad person to have as an official.
