German anti-Islam movement PEGIDA’s second leader stepped down in a week on Wednesday, Reuters said. Kathrin Oertel, who took over after the founder quit for posing as Hitler, cited media pressure. The Dresden-based group, German abbreviation for ‘Patriotic Europeans against the Islamization of the West’ said that Oertel and another board member were resigning. The 37-year-old became PEGIDA’s national figurehead after founder Lutz Bachmann resigned last Wednesday. Bachmann announced his resignation after Bild daily carried a ‘selfie’ of him with a Hitler mustache and haircut that he had posted on Facebook.
