[Europe write][Nazism reemerging][Political extremism]
In a disturbing turn of events, seven members of a neo-Nazi cell have been arrested in Munich, Germany. The arrests follow the discovery of a “hit list” aimed at “eliminating” Democratic politicians, including members of the German Green Party. The cell, affiliated with the hate group National Democratic Party (NPD), West Germany’s last officially recognized neo-Nazi party, is said to have organized through chat rooms on the messaging app Telegram with ties to the Youth Wing of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. This latest development comes in the midst of growing concerns about the reemergence of far-right extremism in Europe, marked by the electoral successes of the AfD and the rise of nationalist populist parties in other countries. The case highlights the need for greater scrutiny of extreme right-wing movements and their potential for violence.
