In Aachen, a procedure against former AfD politician Ferhat Sentürk causes a stir. The police have initiated criminal proceedings against him and the Antifajugend, who published an Instagram contribution in which Senturks are discussed by supposed statements. These include singing the Teufelslied of the SS and the use of the "Sieg Heil" greeting. This reports t-online.de and refers to the suspicion that Senturk Calculusian Organizations could have used.

The Antifajugend published the post on December 23, 2024 to clarify the nearby Senturks about National Socialist ideas. According to the Antifa, the criminal proceedings are an "absurd" and "unnecessary" step, in which it assumes an early termination of the procedure.

clashes and counter -protest in Aachen

In parallel to these legal developments, a heated scene took place on Sunday late afternoon in the Aachen Pontviertel: the Aachen AfD youth organization held a meeting. In contrast, around 100 people mobilized from the left spectrum, including groups such as "Grandma's against Right" and the left youth. Her protest was directed against a lecture by the AfD European Irmhild Boßdorf, whose motto was: "No rooms for right-wing agitation". These events were documented by antenneac.de

During the protest event, a hooded group of around 40 people blocked the entrance to the "La Finestra" restaurant. There were clashes between the protesters and the supporters of the AfD. According to reports, Ferhat Sentürk is said to have taken the object on activists with a blunt, while another AfD fan threatened with a jumping knife. The police entered to defuse the situation and found the personal details of around 40 participants. The officials reported "occasional to resistance".

reactions to the police operation

The disputes led to several criminal proceedings, including the breach of the peace, resistance to enforcement officers, threats and violations of the meeting law. The Antifajugend sharply criticized the police operation and spoke of a "massive and disproportionate police force". The Pontstrasse was closed until late Sunday evening and the meeting ended around 10:30 p.m.

The incident reflects the continuing tensions between the political camps in Germany and reminds of how explosive topics such as right -wing extremism and dealing with protests are still. The investigation against Sentürk and the disputes about the AfD lecture will continue to be debated at a political and social level.
