increased willingness to use violence in the right -wing extremist spectrum

The problem is reinforced by the constantly increasing numbers of right -wing extremist motivated crimes in Germany. According to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, there are around 32,000 right -wing extremists in Germany, of which 13,000 are considered to be violent. The hostility and attacks on political opponents are increasingly increasing, which is also expressed in cases in which mayors have already resigned their offices for fear for their security. With a variety of right -wing extremists, right -wing extremism is considered the greatest threat to security in Germany. Especially after the terrible events in Hanau, where Tobias R. shot nine people, the danger of this extremist attitude becomes increasingly clearer, such as the bpb reported.

Overall, it should be noted that the association of colorful Meißen e.V. has not only been added to material damage, but the values of an open and tolerant society are also attacked. The incidents show that the fight against right -wing extremism and intolerance continues to gain in explosiveness and it is essential that civil society is together to counteract such developments.
