Tax money for left-wing extremists: Potsdam Antifa Archive in focus!

Potsdam, Deutschland - A small excitement from Potsdam makes big headlines! The notorious Antifa Club Archive, firmly anchored in the Potsdam left-wing extremist scene, gets a juicy financial injection from the public fund. Since 1994 not far from the main train station, the archive of the contact point for concerts, workshops and even sporting events. But what hardly anyone knows: This supposedly "independent" center is vigorous with taxpayers' money, as it is Journalistenwatch reported.

From 2020 to 2025, a whopping 449,536 euros migrate to the coffers of this cultural melting agent. No peanuts when you consider that a special funding of 600,000 euros was granted in 2008. A total of over one million euros from the hard -earned tax money already flowed into the left cultural center! Under the leadership of Franziska Maria Schade and Alexander Frehse, both no unknown in the Potsdam Politian landscape, the archive acts as a cultural meeting point and offers space for left -wing ideologies.

politics and symbolism

But a detail brings a breath of fresh air to the controversy: the YPJ flag, a symbol of the Kurdish folk defense forces that are connected to the PKK classified as terroristically. Until recently, this blew at the archive window. A fraction of the population probably shakes his head over it, but with the circle of the Potsdam city administration you deal with it quite calmly. The SPD-led city sees itself to make clear announcements-the flag is now removed, it is said. A war painting that is a constant thorn in the side of the protection of the constitution is largely ignored by the city.

A flag symbol that preaches the ideology of "democratic confederalism" does not necessarily ensure calm and peace at first glance. This philosophy developed by PKK founder Abdullah Öcalan is classified as anti-Semitic by some and stands for radical socialism. No wonder that the question of legality is flipped. And although the archive's political heritage is remarkable, it is apparently not an issue for the city of Potsdam.

Protection of the constitution in sight

But the protection of the constitution raises the alarm and speaks of the fact that such left -wing networks in Potsdam would represent a hub on the left scene. These networks also occur with Kurdish solidarity-an integral part of the Potsdam political climate. Again, the role of the role of social peace is discussed - an unexplained affair between protection and revealing.

While the city administration, the political dimension of the flag seems to be relatively irrelevant, one promises to initiate exams with the responsible authorities. But whether there are any criminal consequences is in the stars. The fact is: the financial channels between the city and the Antifa Club continue to flow freely, although any public outrage seems to be bumped into deaf ears.
