The contraceptives, ordered by the youth wing of the National Democratic Party (NPD), came in black boxes bearing the slogan “For foreigners and certain Germans”.
The activists sent them to lawmakers as a protest against “unchecked immigration.“
Germany tried in 2003 to ban the NPD, a party branded “racist, anti-Semitic and revisionist” by Germany’s domestic intelligence service, but failed.
Banning political parties is sensitive in Germany, after the Nazi and Communist regimes silenced dissent.

Science is finding more health benefits from blueberries—but raising more concerns about fruit juice. According to a new study by Harvard University researchers, eating whole fruits helps ward off diabetes, while drinking juice can actually raise the risk of developing the disease.
In a study published in the British Medical Journal,
nutrition experts report that consumption of certain fruits—especially
blueberries—cut people’s risk of type 2 diabetes by as much as 26
percent in a survey of more than 180,000 subjects over two and a half
decades.
The study also revealed an interesting twist. Consumption of fruit juices—including apple, orange, and grapefruit—not only failed to deliver the same benefits as whole fruit but even appeared to raise the risk of diabetes. People who drank at least one serving a day of juice had a 21 percent higher risk of developing diabetes than those who did not.
