A 29-year-old person experienced racial insults and harm on Sylt.
Right-wing extremist activities were reported at several locations on Sylt during Pentecost. The police in Flensburg announced that a 29-year-old woman was subjected to verbal and physical attacks in Kampen. In another bar, they discovered song lyrics promoting xenophobic views.
The police have launched investigations into three separate incidents of apparent right-wing extremism on the island of Sylt. One of these involved a 29-year-old woman in Kampen, who was first verbally abused with racist slurs and then physically attacked. She sustained minor injuries and the investigation is ongoing, according to the police.
In another incident, people in a bar sang the right-wing extremist song "Ausländer raus" during the night on Pentecost Monday. This song is derivative of the song "L'Amour Toujours" by DJ Gigi D'Agostino. Authorities have identified potential suspects in all three cases.
While there is currently no apparent connection between these cases, the police's initial assessment is that they are unrelated. However, this could change as the investigations progress.
The incident in Kampen has received widespread attention, sparking outrage after a video surfaced of several young individuals singing "Ausländer raus" and "Deutschland den Deutschen" at a party. One of the participants is also seen making a Nazi salute.
The incidents on Sylt have further inflamed the ongoing debate about the presence of right-wing attitudes in the population. This latest incident is not unique as similar examples occurred recently at folk and shooting festivals in Erlangen, Bavaria, and Löningen, Lower Saxony.
Responses from politicians were swift and alarming. Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed shock and concern. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser called the behavior "a disgrace for Germany." The bar that was affected by the first incident was aghast at the situation and reported receiving death threats.
The singing of right-wing extremist lyrics to an old party hit is not a new occurrence. The phenomenon has also been observed at other events such as folklore and shooting festivals. It underlines the persistence of this form of racial hatred and underscores the need for vigilance and action against it.
