Right -wing extremist assembly in Gera: Police investigated according to compact ban
In Gera, around 320 people recently gathered to express their opinion and draw attention to a controversial topic. Under the motto “We for Peace and Freedom”, the event, which was approved by the city, took place. This happened in the context of the ban on the right -wing extremist magazine "Compact", which was imposed by the Federal Ministry of the Interior a few months ago
The ban and the reactions to it
The ban on the magazine not only led to protests in Gera, but also in neighboring regions such as Saxony-Anhalt. There, an originally planned event, which was intended as a summer party for the magazine, was prohibited. Judicial confirmations and the commitment of the police underline how serious the authorities take the situation and try to prevent further right -wing extremists.
demonstrations for and against extremism
The police recorded a violation of the Association Act in the run -up to the Gera rally. Video recordings from social media showed the editor of «Compact», Jürgen Elsässer, and the Austrian right -wing extremist Martin Sellner, who performed at the meeting. This led to a spontaneous counter -action, in which about 75 people under the motto "Gera is colorful and versatile" protested. At the same time, events with 450 participants took place in the city who were directed against fascism and global environmental disasters.
growing tensions in the region
The increasing right -wing extremists and their effects on the local community raise questions. Signs that the mood in the region is polarized are obvious. A member of the right scene behind the Gera event clearly showed this by wearing numerous participants T-shirts with the inscription "We are Compact". These symbols illustrate the need for some groups, despite the ban on “Compact”, to continue propagating their views.
conclusion and outlook
The recent events in Gera are not to be considered isolated, but reflect a larger social phenomenon. The increase in rallies and counter -protests shows that the topic of right -wing extremism continues to be an important social concern. The discussion about how such extremist groups should be dealt with will have to be continued in politics and within society.
