At the end of January, the right-wing extremist scene met in Schnellroda in East Germany. Also present were representatives of the Swiss group “Junge Tat” as well as the Austrian right-wing extremist Martin Sellner and the AfD youth. According to media reports, there were attacks on journalists and photographers.
Specifically, almost 30 right-wing extremists, some of whom were masked, harassed journalists and photographers from the Research-Nord media network. A few days ago he posted a video of the incidents on “X”.
Violence is nothing new among the “New Right” in Schnellroda – visible again on January 24th, when numerous AfD and “Identitarian Movement” officials attacked journalists.

Again “View “now writes, representatives of the Junge Tat are also said to have become violent: “In the front row were the leaders Manuel Corchia and Tobias Lingg, who have multiple previous convictions,” it says in the report. Corchia is said to have hit a journalist against the camera lens and sprayed Lingg photographers with water. So no one was injured.
The police confirmed to Blick that investigations had been initiated into bodily harm, insults and theft.
This is explosive because the two leaders of the Junge Tat will have to stand trial in Switzerland in a few months. You are charged with a whole range of crimes. The action of the two Swiss right-wing extremists in Germany should therefore also be of interest to the Swiss public prosecutor’s office. (ome)
