Right -wing extremist identity movement aims at schools with leaflets!

In several federal states, including Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, leaflets from the right-wing extremist identity movement have appeared in schools in the past few days. This targeted distribution is aimed particularly at students and aims to win young people for the group's ideology. The Bavarian Ministry of Culture has confirmed reports on distributions in Munich and Augsburg. The government is also aware of two incidents in Baden-Württemberg, while media reports indicate that the flyers also keep course in northern Germany.

With the title "Teachers hate these questions", the leaflets provoke and include topics that range from sexual assault and future uncertainty to pension and inflation issues. On the back it is claimed that Germans are in the minority, and the so -called "remigration" is advertised as a solution to the problems mentioned. Many of the flyers carry the slogan "defend yourself!", Which reflects the aggressive rhetoric of the identity movement.

distribution of the leaflets

The leaflets were found in bicycle baskets in particular in Munich, and sometimes the people who distributed the flyers entered the school premises. According to a spokeswoman for the education department, the headmaster are outraged by these incidents. The flyers were distributed last week and discovered in several schools such as the Max Josef Stift, the St. Anna-Gymnasium and the Willi-Graf-Gymnasium. All affected schools were asked to deal with the incident pedagogically and to encourage teachers to treat the topic in the constitutional quarter of an hour.

Miriam Heigl, head of the department for democracy, describes the flyer as agitation, which, however, is not relevant under criminal law. She explains that such actions are not new and often serve to unsettle school staff and to gain young people for extremist views. Parents were informed and encouraged to discuss the content of the flyers with their children to enable a learning effect on right -wing extremism.

right -wing extremist ideologies of the identity movement

The Identitarian Movement, which has been observed nationwide by the constitutional protection since 2016, represents racist and anti -Islam positions. A constitutional protection report from 2019 classifies the movement as a "secured right -wing extremist". The decision was confirmed by the Berlin Administrative Court, which rejected an urgent application for the group. According to the court, the demand for ethnocultural homogeneity and ethnic “purity” violates human dignity and represents efforts against the free democratic basic order.

The leaflets contribute to the spread of such defamatory and discriminatory ideas by defaming individual groups and people, especially with Muslim faith. The central message of the Identitarian Movement sees itself in a struggle for the "ethnocultural identity", which is quite contrary to human rights.

The incidents in schools illustrate the need for an active examination of such extremist positions. Educational institutions are asked to sensitize the students to these topics and to encourage them to take a critical argument.
