The U.S. government has labeled 225 properties across the country as being utilized by far-right extremists.
The government identifies 225 sites across the country as being utilized by right-wing extremists, revealing a seven percent increase compared to last year in response to a parliamentary inquiry posed by the Left Party. 'Welt' disclosed this information on Thursday. These sites are believed to host events like right-wing music gigs, martial arts competitions, gatherings for networking, as well as serving as hubs for mail order services, record businesses, tattoo studios, and publishing houses.
Martina Renner, a member of the parliament for the Left Party, spoke with 'Welt': "For a long time, there's been a continuous growth in the number of properties occupied by neo-Nazis and right-wing radicals in Germany. Such properties act as focal points for right-wing extremism and also serve as essential nodes within their business structures."
The authorities claim that these locations are essential for the "recruiting and bonding functions" of right-wing extremism in Germany. They also play a significant role in financing the extremist scene.
The majority of these properties are found in the eastern parts of the nation: 37 in Saxony, 36 in Saxony-Anhalt, 24 in Thuringia, 21 in both Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg. There are 19 in Bavaria, 16 in each of Baden-Württemberg and North Rhine-Westphalia.
