  • @adios2011
    Violence is never an answer but why you guys don’t look why people are so extremely unhappy with our politicians and leaders ????
  • @paladro
    no mention of detaining or identifying the attackers?
  • @AK-ej5ml
    Hopefully the vast majority of voters will be outraged by this sort of behaviour and refrain from voting for any party which endorse or encourage such attacks.
  • They need to get this under control. From right-wing extremism to foreign involvement by Russia and other countries.

    Prayers for Germany 🇩🇪 love from Canada 🇨🇦
  • How do we remain a well functioning Democracy and also put a stop to the attacks on our Democracy? The Autocrats and Dictators (and would be Dictators) don't have to deal with that problem. They just have to tell the citizens of our Democracy that the government in charge is failing them and failing to protect them.
  • Eastern part of Germany, former russian occupied sector, is deeply influenced by their russian influence of thinking.
  • How long can politicians stand by hate of German people ?😢
  • Scholz made a lot Putin's game in delaying as much as he could the help for Ukrayne . Fact .
  • @julesk1567
    Johannes Kiess forgot it’s not only a lack of law enforcement officers in saxony, the problem is also the high number of LEOs who straight up sympathize with far right extremists which gives the latter free reign to intimidate and beat up who they please.
  • @gtavi23
