Freising defends itself: fight against right -wing smears in public space

smears in Freising: A challenge for the community

The city of Freising is currently faced with a worrying increase in smears that bear National Socialist, anti-links and misanthropic content. These incidents are visible in underpasses, bridges, lampposts as well as in other public places such as the train station and in restaurants. In an application to the mayor, the SPD city council faction pointed out this development and emphasized the need to remove such smearings.

The risk of normalization

From the SPD faction's point of view, this content is an expression of an anti-constitutional attitude. It is feared that the tolerance of such symbols and slogans in public space could lead to this that this attitude becomes normal. Thus, the parliamentary group urgently advocates developing a concept for the fast removal of smearings that work in coordination with the local police authorities. This measure aims to include both public and private areas.

reaction of the community

activism against these developments was initiated by a leaflet of the “Solidarian Freising” initiative, which is currently being distributed in some city boxes in the city. In this document, the increasing presence of stickers and graffiti is criticized with forbidden slogans. In particular, symbols such as the Celtic Cross, the Davidstern and runes are used, which are in the right -wing scene for mobilization.

A call to solidarity

The leaflet calls the citizens not to bend these symbols, actively remove them and to take a solidarity attitude towards endangered groups. The support for marginalized communities such as queer and migrant people is particularly emphasized. "We stand for a free singing in which everyone feels comfortable and safe," says the call, which encourages to recognize the problem and actively work for a cosmopolitan city.

a trend under observation

The increase in right -wing extremist symbols in public space is not only a local phenomenon, but also reflects a wider trend within society. Initiatives such as "solidarity free singing" play a crucial role by sensitizing citizens and calling for an active resistance to this development. The community has to stand together to push back the influence of extremist ideologies and to keep public space as a safe place for everyone.

Overall, the situation in Freising shows how important it is to make a clear commitment to the values of an open and respectful society. It is up to the citizens to make the city a place in which diversity and tolerance are lived and celebrated.
