By 642 0

The European country of Germany, struggling to overcome the threat of far-rightist politics, has suspended as many as eight police officials.

It is not the first time that the German government has taken a strict action to weed out far rightist elements from its police service.

The suspended officials are accused of participating in online discussions supporting far-rightist politics.

Far-rightist politics is the biggest threat the European country is facing at this juncture.

Not only Germany, both also the entire Europe has witnessed the rise of far-rightist politics.

It is feared that the rise of this politics sweeps away the understanding between European countries nourished by the powerful multilateral organisation of European Union.

Germany is the most powerful country in the European Union. It is not wrong to assume that Germany is the backbone of the union.

The rise of far-rightist politics in Germany, in that sense, is definitely a serious threat to the future of the unity of the European Union.

By 498 0

A German regional minister has faced serious criticism for his alleged connection with a suspected member of a far-rightist organisation.

The allegation against the regional minister is that he has purchased a gun from the suspected far-rightist activist.

The criticism has intensified when he has tried to lighten the heat of the criticism by saying that the purchase was a personal matter.

The incident is the main talk in social media platforms based in the region. Media houses have covered the story aggressively. Some have even exceeded its limits to portray the regional minister as a far-rightist sympathiser.

The minister has admitted of purchasing the gun. But he has refused to accept his alleged link, and dismissed it as baseless.

He has filed his resignation. In the statement he has released at the time he has submitted his resignation, the minister has portrayed his resignation as a sacrifice he has made for his family.  

The minister has criticised the media for twisting the facts.

Notably, the development has happened at the time the country was trying to enfeeble the threat posed by the far-rightist activism.

The far-rightist activism is the biggest threat the European superpower of Germany faces at this juncture.

Far-right attacker receives tough punishment of 21 years imprisonment

By 599 0

A Norwegian youngster, who killed his step-sister and opened fire at a mosque, has been sentenced to as many as 21 year imprisonment.

The punishment has come with a minimum term of as many as 14 years – recently, the country has hiked the minimum term for hate crimes.

It is said that the attacker was inspired by similar attacks happened in New Zealand in the recent past.

The attack is one of the gravest crimes the country has seen in its recent history.

The far-right movement is not less active this part of the world.     

In the year 2011, similarly, a right-wing extremist carried out a horrific attack in the country. Unlike this time, his minimum sentence was at least four year shorter than what has been awarded to the latest case of far-right extremism.

It is high time for the European countries to look into this matter seriously. Norway is not the only European country struggling with the issue of far-right extremism.

Many European countries like Germany, Poland and Hungary are vulnerable to this issue.

Germany has recently reported several similar cases. In some states, even the rebirth of Neo-Nazism has been reported.

The development exposes a serious threat which needs urgent intervention.

Far-rightist gains momentum in East Germany

By 651 0

Far-rightist groups have emerged powerful in certain regions in East Germany, which was once the stronghold of leftism.

East Germany was formerly a leftist controlled region. Post the Second World War, it fell under the influence of the USSR, which was then the apostle of global socialism.

The emergence of far-rightist in the east is not less than a surprise. It is actually a new phenomenon.

Prior to the fall of Berlin wall – the wall which separated the leftist controlled East Germany from the liberalist controlled West Germany, it was not even a distance possibility.

Sadly, what is witnessed at this point of time is a dangerous phenomenon. Lately, far-right groups have organised several attacks in the country.

Recently, around twelve members of a far rightist organisation have been booked by the German police as their involvement in several political crimes in the name of far-right has been identified.

As per a police report, they had intention to attack asylum seekers, religious centers and politicians.

The Germany government has stepped up their ante against the far-right. It has recently launched several operations to contain the activities of far-right in the country – especially in the eastern region of the country.

Germany city declares Nazi emergency

By 652 0

A German city, Dresden, which is the capital of the country’ eastern territory of Saxony, has declared a Nazi emergency, as the city has found it necessary to bring in the measure to check the issue of the growing influence of far-rightists.

Saxony is traditionally a far-rightist stronghold. It is situated in the eastern part of the European country of Germany.

The latest move is likely to have a far-reaching impact on the region. The move is likely to face serious resistance from the people of the region.

This is the first time such a repressive step has been taken against the far-rightist activists active in the region.

The move has been justified on the basis of the argument that the far-rightist activism has crossed all limits in the region.

The city is the place from where Pegida originated. The infamous Pegida moment is an anti-Islam movement. The far-rightist faction is the one which ignited the aggressive movement. The movement has gained popularity across the country, particularly among the far-rightists, in a short span of time.
