Security situation in Brandenburg: Agency of the crimes in the north!

Spree-Neiße, Deutschland - in Brandenburg there is light and shadow when it comes to security. While in the north of the federal state, gratifying declines in the crimes are recorded, the overall location looks different. In current police crime statistics, an increase in crimes can be observed by 9.4 percent. These figures come from answers from the Potsdam Ministry of the Interior to inquiries from CDU MPs. In the Uckermark, a decline of 12.4 percent and 6.0 percent in Prignitz could be determined, which is a positive sign for the citizens based there. But the increasing numbers in other regions, especially in the Spree-Neiße district and Märkisch Oderland, worry. Nordkurier reports .

CDU politicians like Rainer Genilke and Gordon Hoffmann comment on these topics and make clear demands. Genilke referred to the increase in car thefts and the problem of politically motivated crimes, especially in schools. The training of good prevention is important to him, which is why he stimulates a detailed report in the interior committee of the state parliament on the subject of crime in schools after the summer. Hoffmann, on the other hand, sees the decline in crimes as gratifying, but emphasizes that over 4,700 registered crimes in Brandenburg are simply too much. He demands more support for the police by the state government.

politically motivated crime - a growing problem

A look beyond the national borders shows that politically motivated crime (PMK) in Germany is a serious problem. According to the current figures of the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), the PMK continues to increase. In 2024, the number of cases rose by over 40 percent to more than 84,000 crimes. The increase in extreme right -wing motivated acts, which makes up almost 50 percent of the total numbers, is particularly striking. The BKA also notes that anti -Semitic incidents have increased by 20 percent and xenophobic crimes by up to 34 percent. These alarming statistics are not only a challenge for the security authorities, but also show that the social climate is tense. BKA informs about it .

The educational rate for politically motivated crimes has increased to 46.85 percent, with the number of acts of violence in the PMK sector recorded a decrease of 11.92 percent. Despite these positive aspects, politics and the Ministry of the Interior are required to intensify measures to combat crime. Interior Minister Dobrindt has announced a "security offensive" and pleads for a reform that grants the security authorities greater powers.
