Seehofer, visibly surprised by the answer from his ministry, burst out laughing: "Then I would also be an enemy of the constitution!" He does not use the term class society, but "the division in our society" is "completely undisputed." Haldenwang bailed him out, saying that JW advocated the "establishment of a socialist, communist society", that was "essentially the reason for the classification."
