Left-wing extremism in Germany: How much of a threat is it?

Germany is bracing for street protests by the far-left “Antifa” movement this week, after the conviction of Lina E., who was found guilty of physically assaulting neo-Nazis.

Twenty-eight-year-old student Lina E. was sentenced to five years and three months in prison this week for causing bodily harm and belonging to a criminal organization. She and her three co-defendants were found guilty of attacking and seriously injuring suspected right-wing extremists. These acts, the judge said, showed how far militant anti-fascist groups could go.

It is the first such case in for many years, but Germany’s domestic intelligence agency says left-wing extremism is growing. In its latest report, published last year, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) recorded a rise in the number of “violence-oriented” left-wing extremists of around 700 to 10,300 from 2020 to 2021.

Fourth Reich disseminates ominous new report on ‘environmental policy’

If you said that climate lockdowns would be next, you might be a conspiracy theorist.

If you’re making simple observations and drawing basic conclusions about the world around you, you might be a conspiracy theorist.

If you have even the most rudimentary understanding of big government leftism and limited government conservatism, you might be a conspiracy theorist.

Recession in Germany is a sign of Europe’s deindustrialisation

A lack of access to cheap energy has made the continent less competitive

Last week Germany announced that, after the government statistics agency revised its recent GDP figures, it was clear that the country was in recession. In recent history it has tended to hold up well as the global economy softened relative to some of Europe’s weaker economies. But this time it seems that Germany is leading the pack into recession.

Green Sleaze in Germany

“Hang the Greens” Germany, election poster

Germany’s Green Party is currently being rocked by a cronyism scandal, after it was revealed that several key figures in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action were not only ideological allies but also close relatives. These revelations forced economy minister Robert Habeck—a member of the Greens—to sack his closest aide and ally, Patrick Graichen, the former state secretary responsible for pushing through radical and costly green energy policies.

‘Ukraine blew up Nord Stream pipelines, Germany believes’

German investigators are sceptical of claims that Russian naval ships sabotaged the Nord Stream gas pipelines and are instead pursuing leads that point to the Ukrainian authorities, according to a report.

Three of the four strands of the pipelines, built to transport Russian gas to Germany on the bed of the Baltic Sea, were knocked out by underwater explosions last September, effectively severing the main energy link between the two countries.

The end of Germany’s open borders

The Bundestag’s war guilt is finally lifting

Wir schaffen das! Who could forget Angela Merkel’s one-liner on August 31, 2015 — best translated as “Yes, we can!” — after she opened her country’s borders to hundreds of thousands of migrants making their way from Syria, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the Middle East? In the liberal Anglophone press, Germany was practically re-branded as a humanitarian superpower overnight. It was as if, with this grand, risky gesture, Germany had finally atoned for the crimes of the past.

A generation on, east Germans are smarting over sneers from the west

What is an Ossi’s favourite sport? The bobsled: there’s a wall on one side, a wall on the other, and it’s all downhill.

East and west Germans, crudely nicknamed Ossis and Wessis, have been trading ostensibly harmless jokes about each other for decades. They are part of the cultural furniture of reunification, a way for people on both sides to smooth over the difficulties of rebuilding a nation after 45 years of division.

Germany sees record number of politically motivated crimes

Germany recorded 58,916 cases of politically motivated crime in 2022, an increase of some 7% compared with the previous year, according to figures released on Tuesday.

Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said right-wing extremism remained the greatest threat to German democracy, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the COVID-19 pandemic also cited as important factors for the rise in politically motivated crime.

A significant increase was also recorded in crimes and acts of violence by the far-right Reichsbürger (citizens of the Reich) movement.

Germany: Ibrahim A. Charged With Murder Following Brokstedt’s Knife Rampage

The accused was deemed harmless by a prison psychiatrist before being released from custody where he was being held because of an earlier knife attack.

Three months after the deadly knife rampage in Brokstedt that saw two young people murdered and five others injured, public prosecutors in Germany have brought forth charges against the perpetrator, Ibrahim. A., a 34-year-old Palestinian.

Ibrahim. A., who previously compared himself to Anis Amri—an Islamist terrorist who in 2016 killed 13 people and injured 67 after plowing through a Christmas market on Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz with his vehicle—on Thursday, April 27th, was formally charged by the Itzehoe public prosecutor’s office with two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder, Der Spiegel reports.

Chinese cars pose an existential threat to Europe

Electric vehicles are taking over from German diesel

The European automotive sector — above all the German car industry — is a bulwark of the EU’s economic might. But for how much longer? It’s becoming increasingly clear that Chinese exports pose an existential threat.

This week, Brad Setser, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, tweeted out two charts that illustrate the astonishing speed and scale of recent developments.

Germany arrests 28-year-old Syrian over ‘radical Islamist’ bomb plot

German authorities arrested a 28-year-old Syrian national on Tuesday morning, one of two brothers suspected of planning to blow up civilian targets using a homemade explosives belt for “radical Islamist and jihadist” reasons, a statement said.

Public prosecutors in the northern port city of Hamburg carried out searches as part of a joint probe with police, arresting the man whom they believed bought raw materials for bomb-making off the internet over several weeks.

Bavaria mulls reopening nuclear plant under state control

Bavarian Premier Markus Söder on Sunday proposed that his southern German state could assume control of the Isar 2 nuclear power plant, which was permanently taken off the grid, along with two other remaining power stations shortly before midnight.

Söder, who has been a staunch critic of Germany’s decision to transition away from nuclear energy, told the Bild am Sonntag newspaper that the move would require an amendment to the Atomic Energy Act to hand control of nuclear power from the federal to the state level.

It was a monumentally stupid decision to shut down the reactors.
