Germany’s interior ministry has sounded the alarm over a growing threat to members of the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), following a series of arson attacks and physical assaults carried out by far-left extremists.
In the latest incident, a car belonging to Bernd Baumann, the AfD’s parliamentary group leader, was set on fire outside his Hamburg home in the early hours of Monday morning. The blaze destroyed three nearby vehicles.
State security officials are investigating the attack as politically motivated, and an online statement posted on a far-left, Antifa-linked platform and ending with a death threat against Baumann and other AfD members is believed to be authentic.
The attack came just weeks after the Munich office of AfD MP Tobias Teich burned down in another suspected arson assault.
According to Bundestag data, there were 808 recorded attacks on AfD representatives between January and June this year—an average of 4.5 incidents per day—making the party by far the most targeted in Germany.
A spokeswoman for Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt told Bild newspaper that there is now an “elevated abstract threat” against AfD members, particularly from “the violent left-wing extremist scene.”
She said extremists were no longer focusing solely on the party as an organisation but increasingly targeting individual members, office-holders, and visible supporters at both federal and local levels.
The ministry noted that the Antifa movement justifies its actions by framing the AfD’s political stance as morally illegitimate, with a “broad consensus” among militants that violence is justified to oppose the party.
AfD leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla described the Hamburg attack as “a direct assault on democracy in Germany,” calling on other parliamentary parties to show solidarity, adding
Such acts of violence have nothing to do with legitimate political debate.
Baumann accused mainstream politicians and media of hypocrisy for remaining

I am sure the culprits are being “pursued aggressively”.
Um. Yea. Why would anyone think about acting violently against a group called Nazi’s who can’t be part of government ?
I can see a Night of the Long Knives purge against AfD happening.
This pattern is at least 100 years old — Left-wing fanatics get violent and attack Right-wing people. The ruling government then blames the victim, establishes the Right-wing people as the source of violence and cracks down on the Right-wing people, allowing the Left-wing fanatics to lead society without real competition.
Well, naughtZeez...........
I’m waiting for a false flag event. The government infiltrates a couple of agents into an AfD rally. The agents throw the Hitler salute.
Poof! The AfD is banned.
It worked for H. Just set the Reichstag on fire and presto.
There was a lot of street fighting in Germany in 1919-20 between Left & Right-wing militias. Eventually a person like a Hitler, Mussolini or Franco emerges. Throw Napoleon in there if you like.
No, it doesn't.
Otherwise they would not be supporting it.
The official results are in: Germany’s ‘Muslim Miracle’ was a catastrophic failure…
Germans imported millions of Muslims thinking they would be eager workers and save their pensions.
Most of them went on welfare and made it worse.
They destroyed 1,000 years of Germanic culture and wealth to prop up govt. pension plans. The plan failed within less than 10 years.
“Mohammed” is the most popular name among German welfare recipients.
Interesting…the far left haven’t killed 10 AFD members in the last couple months. Something else has…?
“Mohammed” is in the top 10 baby names in most of Germany’s 16 states
“Germany’s interior ministry has sounded the alarm over a growing threat to members of the right-wing Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), following a series of arson attacks and physical assaults carried out by far-left extremists.”
Sounds like Germany’s far-left extremists are strongly related to the USA’s far-left extremists
The blueprint for what is coming here.
And assholes on our side can’t even get off their butts to vote.
Could be the globalists are afraid the AfD will start fighting back?

Sydney would be prosecuted in Germany for hate speech.
Well if they want Germany to remain German they better start organizing
Antifa is an international communist organization.
