    From a DW article from 2020:

    One Golden Dawn supporter was sentenced to life imprisonment after he confessed to the 2013 fatal stabbing of left-wing rapper Pavlos Fyssas, whose mother, Magda, was in court to hear Thursday’s decision.

    Last week the court found the Golden Dawn leadership guilty of operating the party as a criminal organization and ordering thugs to attack left-wing activists, migrants and Egyptian fishermen, as well as other perceived foes.

    Damn, that’s a lot more direct than what I know of popular German neo-nazi parties.

      It‘s a lot more direct in terms of dealing with them. Because Germans simply… doesn‘t. Meanwhile the AfD has more convicted violent criminals with a mandate than any other party in Germany. I have no doubt they have a basement full of corpses.

        AFAIK, the AfD does a lot of illegal shit (mostly corruption, nazi propaganda and generally trying to incite violence), but they’re not quite on the level of personally sending out thugs to “deal” with people they hate.

        You’re not wrong about German governments refusing to deal with them, though. Honestly somewhat surprised that the conservative party didn’t already enter into a coalition with them.
