Youth fire brigade Lübz excludes a member of right slogans!

A young person who actively worked in the volunteer fire brigade in Lübz in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district was excluded from the youth fire brigade due to his activities on social media due to his activities. The accusation: it is said to have used right -wing symbols and slogans. In a joint statement by Mayor Astrid Becker (Die Linke) and two leaders from the fire brigade, it is clearly emphasized that racism, extremism and inhuman views in the youth fire brigade have no place. "The youth fire brigade is a place of community, learning and democracy," it says.

This decision falls into a context of increasing sensitivity to right -wing extremist statements and activities in Germany. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has recently expanded its information offer and published an overview of forbidden signs and symbols. According to the analysis of the protection of the constitution, not all extremist symbols are listed, but this measure enables a first overview to sensitize the population to the topic. The constitutional protection recognizes association bans as an important instrument to counteract political and religious extremism because they can weaken the organized structure of such groups.

In Germany, around 80 right -wing extremists are officially prohibited. However, critics warn that such measures do not change the ideas of the members. Christian Klos, Head of the Department of Public Security in the Federal Ministry of the Interior, admits that club bans do not change the attitude. There must be clear evidence for a ban, because clubs often complain against such decisions. The right -wing extremist groups "Hammerskins Germany" and "Art Community" were last banned in September 2023 for extremist and anti -Semitic motivated activities. Despite the skepticism of the effectiveness of such prohibitions, experts and political scientists Christoph Kopke recognize that they can at least have positive effects in society.

The unpleasant incidents in Lübz and the increased measures against right -wing extremism show that the fight against such ideologies is a challenge for society as a whole. Mayor Becker and the fire brigade leadership confirm with their steps that they distance themselves from any form of extremism and defend the values of an open and democratic society.

Especially in times when the social debate about such topics is being conducted more and more heated, it is all the more important to show and act clear edge. The local communities here are special responsibility not only to be role models, but also actively act against extremism. Anyone who opposes the free basic order must expect consequences - this refers not only to clubs, but also to individuals who are involved in communities.
