Germany’s Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, expressed concern over the growing presence of far-right extremism on Holocaust Memorial Day. In a pre-recorded speech marking 79 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, Scholz warned against the rise of “neo-Nazis and their dark networks” and called on people to combat racism and anti-Semitism. He welcomed recent protests against the far right and urged Germans to stand up against far-right political parties. The constitutional court’s ruling to cut funding for the radical right-wing party, Die Heimat, was also praised by Scholz. This ruling sets a precedent for dealing with increasing support for the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD), which has gained significant traction in several regions of Germany. As the AfD continues to gain popularity, the ban on funding could serve as a model for addressing far-right extremism.
