Outrage in Aalen: AfD boss provides Zoff with controversial statements!

In the recent meeting of the committee for culture, education and finance (KBFA) in the Aalen municipal council, statements by the AfD parliamentary group leader Andreas Lachnit provided considerable outrage. The topic of the session was crime statistics and security in the city. Lachnit bluntly demanded that "illegal migration had to be stopped" in order to strengthen the feeling of security of the citizens. In his contributions to discussion, he also claimed that "foreigners are more criminal than Germans" and described people from other countries as "lazy apples".

These controversial statements culminated in laughing, "Remigration saves human life". Mayor Bernd Schwarzendorfer criticized the statements of Lachnits as inhumane and sharply rejected them. After the session, Lachnit sent an open letter to Schwarzendorfer, in which he asked the head of the city, as people described people who come as a person seeking protection and abuse this protection. In this context, Lachnit referred to "anti -social elements", a term that has a special explosive due to its historical connotations, especially with regard to the persecution by the National Socialists.

reaction of state protection

The statements and the open letter from Lachnit aroused the interest of the authorities. Mayor Schwarzendorfer forwarded the open letter to the state security, which is located at the Federal Criminal Police Office and can work if seduced. The mayor emphasized that the action of the administration was law and lawful and that crimes must be pursued consistently.

The situation in Aalen reflects a worrying development, which is documented in the current reports on right -wing extremism. According to the Federal Office for the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV), there was a measurable increase in the personal potential of violent right -wing extremists to around 14,500 people, which is an increase compared to previous years. In 2023, a total of 25,660 right -wing extremist crimes were registered, which corresponds to an increase of 22.4 % compared to 2022. The number of right -wing extremist acts of violence also increased, with 1,148 offenses this year, which means 13.0 % more than in the previous year.

general developments in right -wing extremism

The connections between local politicians of the AfD and a possible right -wing extremist ideas are not new. The BFV reports compared to the German government and the Nazi regime by AfD politicians and from calls to violent resistance by some officials. Such a rhetoric could lead to an extremist political culture in the long term that already accepts strains.

These developments not only require a critical examination of political rhetoric, but also a more active role in civil society and politics in order to set a sign against right -wing extremist tendencies.

The events in Aalen are therefore part of a greater social and political problem that needs to be taken seriously. The state institutions are responsible for pursuing such tendencies and ensuring the security of all citizens.
