Potsdam, Deutschland - scandal in Potsdam! The notorious Antifa Club Archive, a central meeting point for left-wing extremists since 1994, is deep in the funds of the taxpayer. Over one million euros from the public sector already flowed into the association's coffers, which promotes himself as "independent". Between 2020 and 2025, the city pumped a whopping 449,536 euros in funding in the club, such as journalistwatch reported . No wonder that with such sums the blood gets in the way of some citizens.

Located near the Potsdam main station, the archive acts not only as a meeting point, but as a real epicenter of left -wing activities. There are everything here: from concerts, parties, workshops to sports offers. But between the events it is the politics that is in the foreground. Symbolism like the YPJ flag associated with the PKK depends on the archive-an alarm sign that makes the alarm bells shrill.

prominent heads and controversial ideals

The establishment of well -known names is cited: Franziska Maria Schade, who once worked at the RBB and the left daily newspaper Taz, as well as Alexander Frehse, a representative of the party "The Party". This politzkirkus is not surprising when you see what's going on inside. There not only the symbolism of the Kurdish Miliz YPG is emblazoned, but also the ideology of democratic confederalism. Characterized by PKK leaders Abdullah Öcalan, this concept stands for tough socialism and anti-Semitic theories.

But while the SPD-led city of Potsdam is vaguely shown in its reaction, the political background does not seem to worry about anyone in the town hall. When asked about the importance of the flag, which was recently removed, you only received a shrug from those responsible. The city has announced that it has "relevant authorities" with "responsible authorities", but that does not sound really promising for the time being.

tax money for controversial projects?

It is no secret that the flags that hang in the archive are not only for solidarity with Kurdistan, but are also a symbol of radical views. The protection of the constitution itself describes such networks as an integral part of the left scene. But the millions of millions remain: Why do tax money finance such a project?

according to a post by rs38900 , which on X.com remains the political dimension of the archive explosive. The state supports are in a critical light, since the room seems open to radical ideologies. The discussion about the financing of such projects will probably not come to an end, because an end to the financial river from the state treasury into the left environment is apparently not in sight.
