A debate between different groups in the city of Chemnitz over the weekend resulted in the murder of Cuban-born German citizen Daniel Hellig; a young Iraqi girl and a young Syrian were arrested. The extreme right-wing groups in the city, who knew this opportunity, attacked immigrants and refugees they saw on the street with incitement. The police advised them not to go out on the streets with strangers when they were insufficient to appease the events. Ten people were arrested for greeting Hitler.
Right-wing violence is rising
The racist violence in Chemnitz and the protests against the immigrants were protested by about 10,000 people gathered in Hermanplatz Square in the Neukölln district of Berlin. In the press releases, it was stated that the killing of an antifascist, Daniel Hillig, was used by extreme right-wing racists as an incitement to immigrants and refugees. While the public was questioned by the police not to take adequate measures, 5,000 people were condemned to attack immigrants and journalists on the streets of Chemnitz. After the anti-immigrant “Pegida” movement that began in Dresden in 2014, it was highlighted that extreme right attacks have increased in Germany.
“The police do not need it”
Local politician Ferat Koçak, who participated in the action, said radical right-wing organizations have become more active against foreigners, with the right-wing party AfD (Alternative for Germany) entering the Federal Parliament. Pointing to extreme right extremes in Germany, police and institutions in the last place in the latest NSU case, Koçak briefly informed him and his family that they had been subjected to racist attacks. Koçak said, “In February, some of them entered our house garden and set fire to our parking lot. They tried to burn us both home. If I did not wake up by accident, we could have been burned in the house like in Solingen. Moreover, even though there is enough evidence, the people who did it were not arrested yet “.
“To bring the Nazi system of AfD’s purpose”
The Green Party Party Federal Parliament Member Canan Bayram stated in his statement to the IHA that the situation is very painful because there are arguments that the Lower Saxony State police knowingly consent to it. Bearing this in mind, Bayram said, “If so, many people’s lives are no longer safe. Security is the basic right of every human being and must be provided. But it seems that both the government in Lower Saxony and the federal government do not understand it any more. ”
Canan Bayram, who believes that the extreme right party AfD, represented by 90 MPs in Parliament, is a secret plan, said he believes the AfD intends to overthrow the government and replace its Nazi systems.
“They use Daniel’s death for his own racial emotions”
A close friend of Hellig’s murdered friend said on his Facebook account, “We’ve lost a very good friend, please do not turn your age into anger and hatred, because the right-wingers we’ve been fighting for so long as they do not find us as precious as their predecessors are now their own racist beliefs they just use it for mourning, just mourn, do not let yourself go “.
Despite the raining, thousands of people participated in the protest, and police in Berlin were also observed to take intensive security measures.
