Steffan Nethe referred to a statement by former police officer Jan Fischer in WELT, according to which many police officers hardly dared to defend themselves anymore. He asked why security forces were increasingly afraid to protect themselves and wrote that police officers were insulted, threatened, spat upon, and physically attacked. According to Nethe, the Federal Criminal Police Office registered around 46,400 violent crimes against police officers across the country in 2024. This corresponds to about 127 cases per day and an increase of around 38.5 percent compared to 2015. In physical assaults on law enforcement officers, around 35 percent of the suspects in 2024 were not German citizens. Nethe wrote that an attack on a police officer is also an attack on the rule of law. He called for better equipment, more personnel, and a consistent criminal prosecution of assaults on emergency personnel. In addition, police officers should receive support when acting lawfully. If the police ever felt they could no longer defend themselves, it would be a major problem, he wrote. #Polizei #Sicherheit #Rechtsstaat (translated)

Max Mannhart wrote that Suraj Mailitafi, spokesman for "Widersetzen," has been nominated for the German Engagement Prize 2026. The prize is under the patronage of the Federal Chancellery and is predominantly funded by taxpayer money. According to Mannhart, there was a brutal attack on a reporting team from Apollo News during a demonstration by Mailitafi. Mannhart stated that Mailitafi expressed solidarity with the attackers and told Stern that he would not distance himself from them because those who allowed themselves to be provoked were also part of the anti-fascist movement. Mannhart viewed the case as further evidence that there is no clear separation between taxpayer money and the left-wing extremist scene. https://t.co/kRKIYmc196 #EngagementPreis #Politik #Antifaschismus (translated)
