The More Popular the AfD, the More of a Target It Becomes
The European Conservative ^ | 6 Oct, 2025 | Michael Curzon

Party members are being attacked in the streets, and AfD offices are being burnt down.

Unable to steady the rise of the right-wing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) through democratic means, extremist leftists are increasingly turning to violence.

Two party members were attacked on Sunday, October 5th in Göttingen by two women and three men who recognised them as belonging to the AfD, leaving the pair “slightly injured.” The five perpetrators—aged between 23 and 49—are being investigated on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. Author Kolja Barghoorn described the incident as proof that “Germany has a massive problem with far-left extremist violence.”

Sabine Beppler-Spahl, who writes for europeanconservative.com from Berlin, also pointed last week to left-wing violence being fuelled by mainstream ideology.

Reports on Monday also detailed the burning down of offices belonging to two AfD representatives in Munich, state parliament member René Dierkes and federal parliament member Tobias Teich. Police have not yet apprehended the perpetrator(s), who threw an incendiary device through the window, putting lives at risk.

Seven candidates from Germany's far-right AfD party have died in recent weeks ahead of local elections, with no evidence of foul play found. This has led to speculation and conspiracy theories, although the deaths are not considered unusual in the context of political campaigns.

What are the odds?

Astronomical?

The Left is losing & it knows it. People had better be ready for violence of almost any kind.

Just following the lead of the SPD and CDU (who obey the orders of Brussels) in suppressing free expression in Germany.

---- "The Left is losing & it knows it. People had better be ready for violence of almost any kind."

That seems an apt comment, and the warning applies to us as well as those in Germany.

There are also some efforts in Europe to designate Antifa as a terror organization.
