Unacceptable Violence: Minister Wilke Slams Attack on Diversity Rally
Minister Wilke decries the assault at the demonstration - Interior Minister Wilke criticizes violent assault on public gathering.
Here's the skinny on what went down on Sunday, June 16th, in Bad Freienwalde, Brandenburg: A gathering against the far-right scumbags got roughed up by a gaggle of masked thugs armed with baseball bats. The skirmish sent at least two folks to the hospital and may have left more injured, with whispers of three victims [1][2]. The ruffians scampered off before the fuzz arrived on the scene.
Now, here's where it gets juicy: The assailants are rumored to hail from extremist or neo-Nazi groups, donning masks like typical low-lives. The target was a league called "Freienwalde is Colorful," and some of its members belong to the queer community [1].
Brandenburg's Interior Minister René Wilke (independent) has stepped up to show his support. He called the assault unacceptable, stressing the right to assemble and protest peacefully is a cornerstone of our society [1]. He planned to chat with those affected and the local peelers in the afternoon [1].
So, the bottom line: the investigation is underway, with the police on the hunt for the scoundrels. The case is being classified as state protection, linked to broader extremist activities, though details remain scarce, like arrests or formal charges [2].
