In the tranquil Bad Freienwalde in Märkisch-Oderland, a shock moment had to be processed last Sunday: a attack on participants in the diversity festival "Bad Freienwalde is colorful" caused excitement and injured.

Was an attacker. At least two people were injured in the attack.

The suspect is no stranger - he openly known himself to the neo -Nazi small party "The Third Way" and is suspected of being involved in similar actions in the past. In 2024, he tried to violently disturb the diversity festival, but was prevented by the festival visitors. Also at the "Christopher Street Day" in Berlin, according to information from Berliner-Zeitung, he already presented a threat.

a growing problem

The latest events are part of a worrying trend. In Brandenburg, as in other parts of Germany, right -wing extremist incidents rise noticeably. In 2024 there was 37,835 right-wing extremist crimes, according to the Protection of the Protection of the Constitution Constitutional Protection, which means an increase of 47.4 % compared to the previous year. The number of violent attacks has also increased, with 1,281 cases in 2024 - an increase of 11.6 %.

The connection between such violent acts and the increasing right -wing extremist agitations is taken very seriously not only by the police, but also by the Brandenburg state government. This is dismayed by the incidents and calls for a rapid clarification of the attack. The state security has also started investigations to ensure that such incidents are not common.

solidarity and civil courage

The festive event in Bad Freienwalde continued despite the incident - accompanied by an increased police presence. The alliance "Brandenburg shows attitude" has taken a position on the attacks and emphasizes how important it is to actively protect civic engagement and diversity. This shows that despite the challenges resulting from extremist groups, there is a strong civil society that stands for a colorful and livable Brandenburg.

It remains to be hoped that the investigation by the police will be quick and thorough and such attacks can be prevented in the future. The creation of a solidarity together is of great importance.
