Far-right German extremists target schools with anti-immigrant flyers

MUNICH (DPA, CONVERSEER) – Far-right extremists from Germany’s Identitarian Movement have left flyers containing anti-immigrant messages at schools across the country.

Authorities have reported incidents at schools in the southern states of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, while others have occurred in northern Germany according to media reports.

The Bavarian Culture Ministry said flyers were distributed at several schools in Munich and Augsburg.

The leaflets specifically target pupils at schools, carrying the title: “Teachers hate these questions.”

The content includes arguments that Germans are a minority in the country, that sexual assaults are on the rise and that younger generations are losing out due to high rent and inflation.

The flyers explicitly call for “remigration” as a solution, a term widely used in far-right circles to call for foreign residents of Germany – or even foreign-born German citizens – to leave the country.

The Identitarian Movement is considered by the country’s domestic intelligence agency to be a “confirmed right-wing extremist” movement that advocates racist and Islamophobic positions.
