Following the controversial Sylt video, more hate-filled occurrences are surfacing. Now, another incident is being reported: During a festive gathering of the Young Union in Mönchengladbach last Christmas, several individuals are claimed to have shouted offensive slurs.

As per the "Rheinische Post," at the Mönchengladbach Christmas party in December of 2023, the song "L'amour toujours" was sung with the racist chants "Germany for Germans, Foreigners out." The Mönchengladbach Public Prosecutor's Office confirmed a similar report from the "Rheinische Post." An investigation is underway due to the primary suspicion of inciting hate speech against "multiple suspects."
The spokesperson didn't specify the exact number of suspects but mentioned a "few." The investigations have been ongoing for some time. The spokesperson didn't offer any details about the suspects, like their gender or party affiliation. The police file has now been forwarded to the public prosecutor.

According to the "Rheinische Post," the Mönchengladbach CDU chairman, Jochen Klenner, disclosed this news to the district council today. "Upon receiving tips from the party guests, the CDU district association acted swiftly and contacted the authorities," the CDU Mönchengladbach statement read. "In coordination with the State Protection, the CDU chose to hold back on making public statements to avoid influencing the investigation."The district association will only make decisions or announcements concerning potential internal party repercussions after the entire procedure is complete.
A video had recently sparked uproar across the nation. It depicted a group of youngsters at a Sylt party hurling racist slogans, "Foreigners out" and "Germany for Germans," to the beat of Gigi D'Agostino's song. Meanwhile, numerous other incidents have been uncovered.
