Attacker attack diversity in Bad Freienwalde-police investigated!

Bad Freienwalde, Deutschland - On Sunday there was a shocking incident in Bad Freienwalde, Brandenburg, as a group of hooded attackers attacked a feast for diversity. The event that took place under the motto "Bad Freienwalde is colorful" should set a sign against right -wing extremism and promote an open society. However, the celebration was disturbed by ten to fifteen attackers who were armed with batons and wooden tools. According to the Tagesspiegel were slightly injured, including members of the queer community.

The spokeswoman for the State Chancellery commented on the incident and emphasized that such attacks must not be tolerated in a modern society. The Interior Minister of Brandenburg, René Wilke, joined this view and was concerned about the increasing willingness to violence under right -wing extremists. Police circles report that the attackers fled before the emergency services arrived, even though they were already on site. The police are now investigating because of dangerous bodily harm and asks witnesses for clues.

The effects of violence

Violence in Bad Freienwalde is not isolated. In Germany, an increase in right -wing extremists can be observed that cannot be ignored.

In 2020, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered over 23,000 such crimes, whereby the number of violent attacks is continuously increasing.

These developments are alarming. Many people who work for tolerance and diversity are exposed to increasing threats. The latest event also reported that about half of the posters were demolished in advance. Nevertheless, the participants did not allow themselves to be discouraged and continued their idea of ​​a colorful Bad Freienwald, supported by the police who took over the protection of the event.

representatives of the alliance “for tolerance and against right -wing extremism” demand more commitment to an open, diverse society after the attack. They are shocked by the incidents and emphasize the need to vigorously condemn such attacks. Jule Grienitz, a spokeswoman for the alliance, was present in the attack and reported on the cruel reality that many participants had to experience. Injuries such as a blue violet and bruises clearly show that the attackers were doing with full violence.

In this context, the question arises how society can react to such incidents. In view of the growing threat from right -wing extremism, active intervention in civil society is essential. The state security has taken over the investigation because a political background cannot be excluded. This development is part of a worrying trend that should be kept in mind.
