Colorful Meißen e.V. defends itself against violence and hostility!

Meißen, Deutschland - The association "Buntes Meißen e.V.", which has been campaigning for the coexistence of refugees and locals for more than a decade, is once again faced with violence and hostility. On Monday morning, July 10, 2025, there was a fire on the club premises, in which a pile of greenew and rubbish, several meters long, went on fire. The police in Dresden have taken up the investigation and some of them were discovered in the dark, even since, even since the scene of the fire, sloping sayings were discovered on a poster and a lantern. [TAG24] (https://www.tag24.de/sachsen/integrative-verein-buntes-meissen-kaempf- against-anfachungen-und-get- 3401686) reports that the property damage is estimated at around 1,000 euros.

As part of the investigation, the focus is on a 43-year-old man who should not only be responsible for arson, but also for alleged smearings with a attractive content. The officials came on the trail of the suspect because he had already lit a sign of the club in October 2024. Maria Fagerlund, spokeswoman for the association, is reminiscent of the founding history of the association, which also began with an arson attack. "Colorful Meißen" is not only a contact point for language courses and family celebrations, but also makes an important contribution to a respectful and diverse coexistence in the region.

demand for peaceful coexistence

Mayor Markus Renner was concerned after the incident and made it clear that the residents of Meißen wish to have a more peaceful cooperation. "There is no place for racism and contempt for people in our city," emphasized the chairman of the association Bernd Oehler. This type of attack could not only be directed against the integration work of the refugee aid organizations, but also negatively influence the integration process of people with disabilities and migration history.

volunteers play an important role in the integration of refugees. They support in offering language courses and accompanying refugees in authorities. Numerous initiatives and organizations are dependent on this support in order to promote living together in society. Their commitment not only enables helpers to make valuable experiences, but also to establish new contacts in the community. This shows how important voluntary work is for the success of the integration movement, and stands in strong contrast to the enemy attacks that the association is currently suffering MDR Vereine.de.
