Hatred and violence: Chronicle of right-wing attacks in Germany shaken!
What is currently affecting people in Germany? Unfortunately, the answer often seems to be characterized by hatred and incitement. According to Belltower News, the inhibition threshold for open hatred in society is shockingly low. There are repeated reports of violent attacks that not only affect individuals but entire groups and thus act as “embassy acts”.
The chronicle of right-wing violence in the second half of June shows how widespread such acts are. On June 15, 10 to 15 masked right-wing extremists attacked an event in Bad Freienwalde, injuring at least three people. Another example occurred on June 14th in Pforzheim, where 90 neo-Nazis held a “counter-demonstration” against Christopher Street Day (CSD) and chanted anti-queer slogans. In the same week, a 24-year-old woman wearing a hijab was racially insulted, spat on and attacked in Berlin.
The frightening numbers
It is such incidents that are making people increasingly concerned. According to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), politically motivated crime also includes hate crime, which can be directed against individuals, groups or institutions. What is particularly worrying is that in 2024, 44% of online hate postings were attributed to the right-wing spectrum, underlining the brutalization of language and the risk of possible radicalization.
Dealing with extremism
How does society deal with these tendencies? The BKA has taken measures to combat rising hate crime. Centralized recording via the Criminal Police Reporting Service (KPMD-PMK) and the establishment of the right-wing extremism file (RED) are just a few steps to combat the growing threat. Campaigns against hate postings are regularly organized to raise public awareness of the issue.
The facets of extremism are diverse. Right-wing extremist actions often aim to undermine the foundations of a democratic society. In it, the BKA describes an ideology that is characterized by the assumption that people are unequal. Such views not only contribute to physical abuse, but also support a structure in which discriminatory ideas can take hold.
Whether it's attacks at events like the CSD or attacks on individuals - the numbers and reports clearly show that tackling hate and extremism is more important than ever. In this regard, prevention and education are the key to improving the social climate and preventing such acts in the future.
