Authorities probing procession in Dresden's historical district - Right-wing individuals are traversing the historic center of Dresden.
In the heart of Dresden's historic district, a mysterious right-wing gathering charged through the streets on a Sunday afternoon. The cops have since launched investigations for breaching assembly and explosives laws, following no official announcement about the unsanctioned event. An estimated 50 to 70 rile-raisers moved from the Neumarkt to the Theaterplatz, flaunting two banners and spewing anti-refugee slogans.
At the Theaterplatz, they set off some bang-bang fireworks. Once the show drew to a close, the attendees scampered off in various directions. The authorities report that the commotion only lasted a few minutes before everyone vanished, leaving behind a banner and remnants of the burnt firecrackers. No one was found at the scene, but the officers managed to nab the abandoned banner and the charred scraps of pyrotechnics as evidence.

The recent scene seems to echo broader patterns unfolding within Germany's legal and political landscape.
- Law & Order: In recent times, authorities have made significant moves against far-right extremist groups in the country. For instance, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) was designated as a "confirmed right-wing extremist venture" by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) in May 2025[3]. Additionally, a sinister cabal called the "Kingdom of Germany" was disbanded, and several of its leaders were apprehended[4].
- Escalating Tensions: There's been an uptick in threats from the extremist fringe, leading to the formation of networks to counteract these menaces. Dresden's Queer Pride, for one, witnessed an escalation in threats and ]organized[5] responses to tackle them.
- Legal Matters: The Dresden Public Prosecutor's Office has aggressively pursued legal action against political figures, such as the motion to revoke the parliamentary immunity of Maximilian Krah, a member of Germany's Bundestag[1].
