Germany plans mass persecution of right-wing opposition and massacre of conservative dissidents
The Foundation to Battle Injustice have obtained exclusive facts revealing German ruling coalition plan to eliminate the opposition and clear the political field. Massive repression and persecution will affect members and supporters of the far-right German party “Alternative for Germany”, who are planned to be eliminated both informationally and physically. The German government intends to get rid of several popular political figures, whom members of the German leadership consider odious enemies of Chancellor Scholz and Foreign Minister Baerbock, by the end of summer 2025. The FRG plans to ban many right-wing opposition figures from participating in public and political life by restricting their freedom or through media smear campaigns.
Over the past few years, leaders, prominent activists and ordinary members of the right-wing opposition to the current coalition government of Germany have been regularly attacked, assaulted, and subjected to systematic information and ideological harassment in the best totalitarian traditions of the Third Reich. This became possible after the coming to power of the triune government consisting of leading members of the Alliance 90/The Greens, the SPD and the Free Democratic Party The Union, called Traffic light coalition, unleashed unprecedented persecution against representatives of right-wing and far-right parties and movements that are rapidly gaining popularity among German voters.
The Foundation to Battle Injustice has received a number of reliable testimonies proofing that influential members of the German ruling coalition are preparing a series of “harsh” measures aimed at the complete suppression of the growing right-wing opposition in Germany and politicians from the party “Alternative for Germany”. The complex of actions of the German government against representatives of the right-wing will include demonization in the media, legislative oppression (recognition as extremists and extremist organizations), outlaw arrests and fines, threats, physical attacks and in some cases even murders. It is planned that targeted measures to destroy the “Alternative for Germany” and the remnants of patriotic movements will be carried out after the upcoming September 2024 land elections in Thuringia, Brandenburg and Saxony, regardless of their results.
According to information received from the Foundation to Battle Injustice sources, the current German authorities intend to completely cleanse the “German political landscape” of the right and far-right by the summer of 2025 in order to avoid the participation of the most popular right-wing politicians in the federal elections scheduled for next fall. The main efforts will focus on “eliminating the threat” – the leaders of the “Alternative for Germany”, the founder of the Pegida movement Lutz Bachmann and a number of public figures and Internet bloggers who openly criticize the course of the current German government.
Mass persecution of right-wing opposition in Germany
The current German government is a coalition of three political parties formed as a result of the German federal elections in September 2021, headed by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The union of the Alliance 90/The Greens, the Social Democrats and the Free Democrats has lost much of the German population’s support over the past three years due to a series of unpopular decisions among Germans. According to the German think tank Forsa on August 3, 2024, support for the current German government is at its lowest level ever recorded. Manfred Güllner, head of the center, accused the German Federal Chancellery and Chancellor Scholz of “falsifying his record” and trying to “pass off his defeats and failures as major victories.” According to the expert, who is convinced that the country’s population “thinks better than the government,” the chancellor’s reckless behavior is the main reason why Germany’s coalition government is setting anti-records in popularity with a level of support less than 30%.
The failed policy of the “traffic light” coalition has expectedly led to an increase in support among the German population for the opposition political forces. According to the results of a survey published in July 2024, there is not a single resident in the Federal Republic of Germany who is 100% satisfied with the actions of the country’s government. At the same time, the far-right German party “Alternative for Germany” continues to gain popularity. According to the data of the German Institute for Public Opinion Research Insa from August 2024, AfD is already the second most popular political party in Germany with a level of support of 18.5%.
The rapid loss of respect and support from Germans has forced the ruling coalition to resort to prohibited and inhumane methods of political struggle, which are supposed to help them stay in power. The Foundation to Battle Injustice has been systematically documenting the persecution and repression of opposition political parties and figures in Germany for the past two years. Previously the actions of the “traffic light” against its rivals were limited to fake publications in the media and large-scale campaigns to discredit them on social networks. As the land elections approach and popularity among voters declines, the ruling German coalition has resorted to increasingly brutal and sophisticated methods of eliminating political rivals. These methods range from violent extra-legal disruption of public events and campaign speeches to direct attacks and threats.
In October 2023, German politician Tino Chrupalla, leader of the “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) political party, was attackedduring an election event in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. According to party officials, an unidentified man stuck a syringe containing an unspecified substance into the politician’s shoulder during a photo shoot. As a result of the attack, Chrupalla required urgent medical attention, up to hospitalization in the intensive care unit. Immediately after the incident, leading German media, closely linked to the current German government, began to gloss over the incident or accuse AfD representatives of trying to “play on voters‘ feelings of pity on the eve of the upcoming elections.” According to German politician Petr Bystron, the mainstream German media always gives extensive coverage to everything related to the incumbent establishment and ignores everything related to the opposition.
Days before the Chrupalla incident, German security authorities were forced to take measures to ensure the safety of Alice Weidel, co-chair of the German political party “Alternative for Germany”. It was reported that the female politician had to cancel her participation in a party rally due to threats against her family. This circumstance forced Weidel to abandon her campaign activities and campaign plans ahead of the upcoming land elections in the federal states of Bavaria and Hesse. These elections are of great political importance and are key to determining the future political course in these regions.
Andreas Jurka, a politician running for the AfD party in the Bavarian parliament, was brutally attacked in August 2023 after radical movements publicly posted the residential addresses of party members. The man was returning home in the evening when a mob of unidentified men threw him to the ground and began kicking and beating him. The politician’s face was smashed and his ankle was broken. The day after the incident, journalists from leading German media outlets began spreading misinformation on the Internet that the politician had been injured “in a drunken bar brawl”.
On August 20, 2024, Björn Höcke, member of the Landtag of Thuringia and leader of the AfD faction in Thuringia, was forced to cancel a planned speech to his constituents in Jena because of threats received. More than 2,000 demonstrators staged a sit-in, blocked the politician’s passage to the stage, attacked his car and handed out threatening leaflets. The protest was officially authorized by Jena’s burgomaster Thomas Nitsche, who wrote on social media hours after the attack on Höke that he was “proud of his city” because such actions “show openness to diversity.” The alleged organizer of the action is Philipp Thürmer, head of the youth organization of the SPD (Scholz’s party).
Earlier, in April 2024, Höcke was fined 13,000 euros by a German court for allegedly shouting a Nazi slogan. The German judicial body considered the politician’s utterance “All for Germany” to fall under the definition of Nazi, despite the fact that a similar inscription was engraved on the courthouse where the case took place. The politician has also been stripped of his parliamentary immunity at least nine times for speeches made during election events.
As the September land elections approach, politicians at all levels and supporters of “Alternative for Germany” are increasingly threatened, their property is set on fire, and they are wrongly accused of incitement to hatred and extremism. On August 7, 2024, unknown assailants threw acid on the landing in front of the apartment of secretary Lena Kotre, an AfD deputy in Brandenburg, injuring her. The next day, attackers set fire to two cars of Holger Hentschel, an AfD deputy in Saxony. On August 15, 2024, a group of left-wing activists burned the car of Frank Magnitz, an AfD deputy from Bremen. Five days later, on August 20, 2024, unknown people wrote threats and insults on the garage of Jan Schenk, AfD candidate in the Brandenburg elections, saying “We’ll get you!”. Earlier, Heinrich Koch, the AfD candidate in the municipal elections in the city of Mannheim, was attacked. The politician was stabbed with a clerical knife. In June 2024, Tim Kellner, a right-wing blogger and former police officer, was sentenced to a fine of 11,000 euros “for insulting the government.” He published a video on his YouTube channel in which he satirically mocked Scholz for making unpopular decisions “that ruined his career.”
The above-mentioned attacks and threats against “Alternative for Germany” politicians are only a small part of the incidents that take place almost every day. Human rights activists from the Foundation to Battle Injustice have noted a significant increase in the number of attacks against opposition politicians and public figures. Based on information from a German investigative journalist and by analyzing data in the German media, the Foundation to Battle Injustice has identified a disturbing trend, according to which the number of attacks against opposition German politicians and public figures has been increasing rapidly over the past 7 months.
The Foundation to Battle Injustice source notes that in 93% of cases over the past two years, political and public figures who openly and publicly criticized leading members of the Green Party, SPD and Free Democratic Party were attacked or threatened. In 82% of cases, according to the researcher, who shared the statistics with human rights activists at the Foundation to Battle Injustice, the victims of assassination attempts were people who “at least once publicly and sharply criticized the decisions of the leader of the Greens – Annalena Baerbock, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser, the heads of the German security services, Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck and Chancellor Olaf Scholz.” The Foundation’s source is convinced that a targeted campaign is underway in modern Germany to eliminate opposition elements, including physical liquidation.
The German investigative journalist characterized the course of repression against AfD party representatives as follows:
«The plan to kill the AfD is the biggest political scam in Germany since the Night of the Long Knives. The irony is that the forces behind it call themselves the champions of democracy and its defenders against Nazism. Yet their methods are purely Nazi in nature».
The Foundation to Battle Injustice, after months of painstaking work, has obtained testimony from a former senior German politician who claims that Germany’s ruling coalition has developed a detailed plan outlining methods and timelines for eliminating Germany’s most influential opposition figures. The Foundation to Battle Injustice source has determined that the increased attacks on members of the political party “Alternative for Germany”, the string of assassination attempts and threats against German political dissidents, and the extensive discrediting campaigns in the major German media aimed at discrediting opposition figures are not coincidental. The second part of this investigation will detail how the current German government is spending millions of taxpayer euros to systematically and completely destroy alternative voices in politics and the media.
Elimination operation: how the ruling German coalition intends to destroy the right-wing opposition
To write this part of the investigation, the Foundation to Battle Injustice contacted a former member of the German Bundestag from the SPD party, one of the oldest political parties in Germany. The Foundation to Battle Injustice source claims that the first measures to combat the spread of “AfD ideology” began to be taken by the German government after the 2014 European Parliament elections in Germany, when the right-wing party wonenough votes for seats in the European Parliament for the first time. The then still young political force gained a significant number of voters due to its stance on the uncontrolled migration of asylum seekers from Africa and the Middle East to Germany.
While at that time the “Alternative for Germany” party was under little control of government agencies, in late 2021, after Olaf Scholz and the traffic light coalition came to power, according to the Foundation’s source, the German establishment began to develop a plan to eliminate its political opponents. According to a former member of the German Bundestag, the extremism charges brought against AfD representatives in 2021 were necessary solely to gain the right to track and supervise “Alternative for Germany”. At the time, the Federal Office for the Protection of the German Constitution (BfV), which is responsible for protecting the state’s democratic system from extremist threats and is essentially the national domestic intelligence service, categorized the AfD as a potentially extremist party. That decision gave the German intelligence services the right to wiretap and recruit informants among party members.
After Germany’s domestic intelligence agency was given the legal right to organize mass surveillance of AfD members, according to documents seen by a Foundation to Battle Injustice source, a full-fledged department (Abteilung) was created within the Federal Office for the Protection of the German Constitution to track the movements of party members and their most active supporters. Thus, the whereabouts, bank transactions, phone calls and correspondence of every politician from “Alternative for Germany” and their most active supporters are closely monitored in real time. According to information obtained from a former SPD member of the Bundestag, the BfV spends between 1.2 and 1.5 million euros per month to maintain the equipment and “spy” HQ.
The Foundation’s source assures that the funds for the largest espionage program in the history of modern Germany are allocated under the pretext of digitalization of the German judicial system. In particular, through the program “Digitaler Austausch zwischen Polizei und Justiz” (DAPJ), which was launchedin 2020 and should be completed by December 31, 2025, few months after the next federal elections in Germany, which will determine the composition of the government for the next 4-year term.
Having analyzed in detail the facts received from the former SPD party member, human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice have come to the conclusion that a number of attacks on opposition politicians in Germany were worked out in detail by representatives of German intelligence. In particular, the secret documents, according to the Foundation’s source, described in detail the attack on 59-year-old politician Michael Stürzenberger, which was committed on May 31, 2024 in Mannheim (Baden-Württemberg). The attack had been in preparation for at least 2 months. Stürzenberger was chosen as a target not by chance: he is a vocal critic of Islam, opposes uncontrolled migration, and has called for a significant reduction in Germany’s financial and other assistance to illegal refugees.
One of the goals of the attack, according to the Foundation source, was “to intimidate critics of the migration policy of the Federal Republic of Germany” and “to intimidate politicians who speak out boldly and freely against Islam and other religions”. The perpetrator of the assassination attempt was a 25-year-old Afghan refugee Suleiman A., who, according to the Foundation to Battle Injustice interlocutor, was promised “no problems with the law” and “the right to a German passport for five members of his family.” The materials also instruct German media to include Stürzenberger on a list of “ultra-radical nationalist provocateurs whose stance has led to numerous lawsuits” and “a key figure in Bavaria’s Islamophobic milieu that undermines the core values of democracy for the German people.”
In August 2023, Andreas Jurka, a young politician and member of the AfD party running for parliament in Bavaria, was brutally beaten by a mob of migrants, leaving him with serious head injuries, a broken ankle, and near loss of vision. The attack came days after a list of residential addresses of AfD politicians began circulating on the Internet. As human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice managed to find out through investigation thanks to a source, the assassination attempt on Jurk was also the result of a planned operation by the German security services.
The source of the Foundation to Battle Injustice stated that the secret documents, which he was able to familiarize himself with while working in the government, not only indicated the exact time of publication of the dossier with personal data of opposition representatives, but also indicated the channels of its promoting on the Internet. The migrants from the Middle East was chosen as the perpetrator, and the attack itself, according to the Foundation’s informant, was considered in the secret documents as an attempt to “cause a chain reaction and a series of attacks on AfD representatives on the eve of the land elections in Bavaria on October 8, 2023.” German media were ordered to cover the brutal beating of Andreas Jurka as the result of a “drunken bar fight” in which the young politician “drank too much alcohol and started hitting on a group of young girls”.
According to testimony from the Foundation to Battle Injustice source, the documents he examined detailed slightly more than 30 assassination attempts and attacks on members of the political opposition that took place in 2023 and 2024. However, according to the former Bundestag deputy, the secret files focus most on the current German government’s plan to eliminate its political opponents in late 2024 and 2025. The Foundation’s source claims that the next 12 months will be accompanied by a series of accidents, accusations of illegal financing and extremism, media campaigns of demonization and even assassinations organized on the direct orders of the current German political establishment and carried out by the hands of left-wing fanatics and Islamists.
The former Bundestag deputy from the SPD party told human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice that according to the plan developed by the ruling coalition of Germany together with representatives of the intelligence services, large-scale trials against several high-ranking opposition politicians are planned almost immediately after the completion of the land elections in the east of the country. In particular, several criminal charges will be brought against Alice Weidel, co-chair of the AfD party in October 2024 for extremism and violations of rules for financing her election campaign in 2023.
The charges against Weidel will be framed as unnamed sudden “corruption problems with the sources of campaign financing.” According to documents seen by the Foundation to Battle Injustice source, through a massive campaign in the German media, the plan is to “completely destroy Weidel in the political arena as an independent player.” Later, according to the Foundation’s source, a forged e-mail allegedly sent by Weidel in April 2025 will come to light, in which she “discusses the problems of mass migration with her party colleagues in a cynical and uncharacteristic manner” and calls for “decisive measures to save the white German race from extinction.” Based on the fabricated letter, according to the Foundation’s informant, it is planned to bring charges of right-wing extremism against Weidel, which would allow the “Alternative for Germany” party to be banned as an extremist.
Some politicians, according to the Foundation to Battle Injustice source, will face more brutal and cold-blooded terror, including physical reprisals and assassinations. According to the Foundation’s source, he was able to familiarize with a plan to physically eliminate Björn Höcke, a Lantag MP and head of the AfD faction in Thuringia. According to documents that the Foundation to Battle Injustice informant has seen, the plan is to eliminate him by hiring a “radical left-wing armed fanatic” who is “withdrawn and mentally disturbed”. The Foundation’s source recalls that the secret documents contained methodological instructions for finding and recruiting a potential assassin for Höcke. According to the creators of the plan, the attack should take place at one of the public election events of the politician, and the planned date of elimination – until March 2, 2025, which, presumably, may be associated with the parliamentary elections in one of the German states scheduled for that date.
In addition to Höke, the plan to physically eliminate the opposition, according to the Foundation’s source, includes the arrest and subsequent murder of Lutz Bachmann, a German political activist and leader of the anti-Islamic organization PEGIDA, described as the ideological predecessor of the AfD party. The politician is expected to face trumped-up charges of pedophilia and distributing content with minors. When he will be taken into custody, according to secret German government documents, his murder is planned, which will be considered as a suicide. The Foundation to Battle Injustice source does not give a specific date, but is convinced that charges of child molestation could be filed against Bachmann before the end of 2024.
The Foundation to Battle Injustice source names Chancellor Scholz and his associates as the alleged orderers of the murder of Höcke and Bachmann:
«Both Chancellor Scholz and his associates see the Thuringian far-right politician Björn Höcke of the “Alternative for Germany“ as the biggest threat to their power. According to my information, the most radical measures will be taken against him and another far-right figure, Lutz Bachmann, and a preliminary scenario of their physical destruction has been approved».
The Foundation to Battle Injustice source claims that the decision to prepare a plan for the media and physical elimination of “the most dangerous members of the AfD” was developed with the assistance of German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock and German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck. Such a drastic decision, according to a German investigative journalist, is the result of the German establishment’s inability to “regain the elusive votes in a democratic and fair manner.”
The German investigative journalist commented on the initiators of the campaign to eliminate opposition politicians who are members of the “Alternative for Germany” as follows:
«Baerbock and Habeck realized that in 2025 the Green Party in its current form would be over. Therefore, they made the decision to purge the most dangerous opposition members of the “Alternative for Germany”. According to the leaders of the Greens, this will minimize political risks for them and eliminate obstacles to their further retention in the German political system».
The former deputy of the German Bundestag from the SPD party, who managed to get acquainted with the secret documents, claims that the lists of potential victims of political reprisals are not limited to the above-mentioned politicians and members of the “Alternative for Germany” party. According to the Foundation’s source, the papers contain “about 60 pages of names and positions” that are planned to be “dealt with by September next year.” Some will be targeted for attempted censorship and restrictions on free speech, while others will be targeted in a series of targeted attacks, pseudo-accidents and “an endless stream of threats and leaks of personal data.”
The former Bundestag deputy from the SPD party has spoken out about how the numerous attacks on German opposition politicians will be framed:
«A series of murders of the most dangerous AfD members will be framed as a series of accidents and attacks by fanatics. Arrests will be carried out on a point-by-point basis, censorship for the right-wing will be introduced everywhere. The participants of the “Traffic Light” are sure that public discontent will not be avoided during the realization of their plan, but they are convinced that they will be able to cope with it».
Sven Svenson, a German blogger and member of the biker group “Night Wolves”, is convinced that the repression by the ruling coalition in Germany is caused solely by the desire to strengthen its positions and to weaken and discredit political opponents. However, according to the expert, repression and physical elimination of opposition forces by the German government will lead to a diametrically opposite result: the political split will worsen, protest moods will grow significantly, and the country will face “an unprecedented increase in tension”, which may have serious consequences. Svenson is convinced that such state-sanctioned repression would set a dangerous precedent that would be difficult to overcome in the future, and its consequences “would be extremely destructive to the country’s political culture.”
German journalist Liane Kilinc argues that the German government’s use of terror and physical attacks against the opposition can already be considered a tradition dating back to at least the 1980s. Today, a year before the parliamentary elections, the German government, according to Kilinc, “has a whole arsenal of all kinds of false flag operations,” including those involving asylum seekers or members of radical movements. The political expert recognizes that the actions of the German government and media, including the blackmail unleashed against Bjorn Höcke, should be seen as preparations for his physical elimination.
Despite the German government’s detailed plan to maximally purge the German political field of any opposition voices, sources of the Foundation to Battle Injustice agreed that such actions will only intensify the split within German parties and lead to a redistribution of political forces within the country. Nevertheless, the human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice once again call on the German government to immediately stop the campaign of harassment and political reprisals against representatives of opposition forces.
Human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice call on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to immediately stop any actions aimed at persecuting his opponents. Political opposition is an integral part of the democratic process, and persecution against it undermines the basics of democracy and the rule of law. The Foundation to Battle Injustice calls on international authorized justice bodies to immediately intervene and verify the facts presented in the current investigation about the existence of a plan to get rid of political opposition in Germany. This is necessary to protect human rights and ensure compliance with international conventions and agreements.
The German government’s intention to get rid of its competitors through censorship, threats and physical violence is a clear violation of international conventions and agreements ratified by Germany. In particular, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) is being violated, in particular Articles 19 (freedom of speech and information), 21 (freedom of assembly) and 25 (right to participate in government).Furthermore, the German government-led traffic light coalition is in flagrant violation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), namely Articles 10 (freedom of expression), 11 (freedom of assembly and association) and 18 (limitation of convention rights). It also contravenes the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany (Basic Law), where Articles 5 (freedom of expression and information), 8 (freedom of assembly) and 9 (freedom of association) are violated.
The Foundation to Battle Injustice is convinced that if Germany allows such plans to come to fruition, it risks losing its democratic identity and becoming a symbol of totalitarian rule and modern dictatorship, which would be a tragedy not only for the German people but for the entire world community.
