Neo-Nazis illegally seize planned refugee housing in Dresden
Revised Article:
A group of individuals staked their claim on the planned refugee shelter in Dresden-Alttorna Saturday afternoon, planting themselves atop the roof and hoisting a banner that read, "No space for over-foreignization."
Initially, there were more protesters, but as night fell, the rest seemed to have disappeared, leaving only two in plain sight.
The local law enforcement was quick to respond, swarming the area. The intruders were promptly labeled as right-wing extremists. The shelter was slated to open its doors on Monday.
Approximately forty supporters from the "Free Saxony" movement stood guard outside the building, sympathizing with the roof-dwellers. The gathering was allegedly orchestrated by the far-right extremist Max Schreiber. Negotiations with the occupiers proved fruitless, as they steadfastly refused to vacate the roof.
Police eventually brought in the big guns, or rather, the special forces. Shortly after 21:50, the two men were forcibly removed from the roof, escaping unscathed.
Upon searching the roof, authorities discovered several items that hinted at an extended stay for the two men, aged 21 and 25. They now face preliminary charges of trespassing, although the specifics of their allegiances or motives remain undisclosed. Due to the ongoing investigation by the state protection department, more details may emerge in due course.
- The incident at the refugee shelter in Dresden-Alttorna, involving right-wing extremists occupying the roof and resisting eviction, has sparked a flurry of discussion in the general-news and crime-and-justice segments.
- According to reports, Max Schreiber, a known far-right extremist, is said to have orchestrated a support gathering for the two men who occupied the refugee shelter roof, sparking debates about politics and extremism in the mainstream media.
