Carsten Hütter, September 7, 2020, Riots in Leipzig


AfD Kompakt, September 7, 2020.

Leftist extremists have been brawling for the past three nights in Leipzig. Against this leftist extremist rioting, there must be proceedings with the full strictness of the law. It cannot be that a minority of violent leftists oppress entire sections of Leipzig, harm police officers and damage the property of citizens.

Renewed rioting has already been announced for next weekend by the leftist extremists. Since most of the extreme left, violent perpetrators can be identified, I demand that Saxony Interior Minister Roland Wöller get busy before next weekend and re-establish security in Leipzig.

Since 2014, the AfD delegation in the Saxony state legislature has warned of foreseeable developments in the area of leftist extremism. The governing CDU has hitherto rejected in the state legislature all AfD motions to combat leftist extremism. The Saxony Minister-president Kretschmer (CDU) now apparently wants to proceed against the leftist extremists. Nevertheless, he long since could have done that – only he would have had to support the motions of the AfD.
