Antifa in Germany is escalating harassment and targeting—basically putting a bullseye on—sovereigntists from Alternative for Germany, revealing personal information and calling for ‘violent action‘ against them.
The medium used has been the Indymedia portal, associated with Antifa, which was used to target three AfD politicians in Hamburg, including publishing their home addresses and calls to take action against the ‘fascists.’ The information was posted both on the platform and on stickers distributed in the neighborhoods where the politicians in question live.
Public targeting, similar to what was seen in Spain with tragic results during the “Years of Lead” of ETA violence, has prompted a federal investigation. Two AfD councilors were attacked, as well as a district councilor, and stickers were distributed in the neighborhoods of all three. The stickers included the addresses and photos of the three politicians, along with a message stating: “Attention, AfD fascists in your neighborhood.”
The same information was published on the Indymedia website, known for posting manifestos and calls to action from Antifa terrorist groups. Recently, a left-wing group claimed responsibility on the platform for a series of attacks on Berlin’s power grid, which caused the longest blackout in Berlin since the end of the Cold War.
The message in which Indymedia reported the “unmasking” of these “fascists” included the following statement: “Greetings to all Antifa members in hiding and in prison! Much strength and love to antifascist Maja! We stand united! Freedom for all antifascists! Fight fascism!” “Maja” is a left-wing transgender individual currently imprisoned in Hungary and on trial for a wave of brutal attacks in Budapest.
Dirk Nockemann, leader of the AfD parliamentary group in Hamburg, described the action as “attempts at intimidation” and said they should be “condemned with the utmost firmness.” “Antifa means terror. It is a left-wing, anti-democratic terrorist group that, more than any other, promotes public denunciation and violence against dissenters,” Nockemann wrote. The former Interior Minister, Socialist Nancy Faeser, even wrote for Antifa magazine shortly before assuming office.
