Berlin in danger: right violence increases alarming!

Berlin, Deutschland - A questionable trend is noticeable in Berlin: the number of right -wing acts of violence increases and is increasingly perceived as everyday. According to a report by Moabit, there was 246 right offenses in Lichtenberg in Lichtenberg in the first half of 2024-an increase of almost 70 % compared to 2022.

But that's not all. Between 2009 and 2021, 72 politically right-wing attacks were documented in the Neukölln complex, including at least 23 arson attacks. This information comes from several sources such as the Tagesspiegel and NSU-Watch. The case of Ferat Koçak, a politician of the left who survived an arson attack in 2018, is particularly shocking. The perpetrators (s) were already known to the protection of the constitution. This dark balance is supplemented by the deeds such as the murder of Burak Bektaş in 2012 or the murder of Luke Holland 2015, in which the right motif was not clearly classified - even if the evidence appears clearly.

fear of right violence

fear and uncertainty shape the life of many Berliners. The research also shows that there were over 1,700 queer -anti -queer crimes in 2023. In the context of these worrying statistics, the attack on the gay museum in Berlin-Tiergarten was particularly noticeable, in which shots were fired on window panes. In addition, the Lesbian living project Rut 2023 experienced an arson attack, which underlines the danger for marginalized groups.

The Berlin registers find that rainbow flags were stolen or damaged in all districts in all districts in 2023. This testifies to a problem in society as a whole that not only expresses itself in brerzing violence, but also in a culture of hate that is directed against various minorities.

claims to the Senate

The groups and fellow campaigners concerned demand clear public words from the Berlin Senate against right -wing violence. A safe space must be created that comprises protective measures for those affected and solidary facilities. The clarification of right -wing networks, even within state structures, is of crucial importance. Reliable financing for organizations that are committed to right -wing violence is essential to actively counteract racism, anti -Semitism and hostility to queer in administration.

In summary, it can be said that the situation in Berlin is more serious than ever. The active warnings of right -wing violence are often ignored by the authorities, which places the affected and committed into a permanent fear of aggression. It is high time for an effective common approach to make life in the capital safer for everyone.
