Vandalism against AfD office in Kleve: Investigations run!

On March 6, 2025, the AfD office in the Spoy Center in Kleve again became the target of a vandalism act. Unknown perpetrators smeared the shop window with black and red color. The police were informed at 4:15 p.m. and immediately initiated investigations that the state protection took over in Krefeld. The responsible requests testify to report on the phone number 02151-6340 or by email to Notes.kolizei.nrw.de

The vandalism event is not isolated. The AfD office in Kleve has been the target of attacks in the past, which worries the party members and residents in the region. This time the facade of the office was not only smeared with color, but was also already covered with hundreds of stickers who raised provocative questions about the party. In addition to the vandalistic activities, there is even a consideration among the AfD members in Kleve that the facade of the office is no longer due to the original condition.

state protection and rising extremism numbers

The police investigations are carried out against the background of a worrying increase in right -wing extremist activities in Germany. According to a current report by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, there are an estimated 40,600 people in 2023 who attach right -wing extremist ideologies. This is an increase of 1,800 people compared to 2022. The number of right -wing extremist crimes also rose by 22.4 % with 25,660 offenses in 2023.

Contributions to this increase are the 1,148 violent crimes in 2023, which the police registered, which represents an increase of 13 % compared to 2022. This includes, among other things, 874 assault offenses with xenophobic background. The AfD, which received 4,361 votes in the last elections in Kleve and thus 16.9 % of the votes, is moving in an increasingly explosive framework of social restlessness and extremism.

Vandalism at the AfD office is not only an act of local aggression, but also part of a larger trend that requires investigations by the state safety and the police.
