Dortmund (dpa / lnw) - Six years after the establishment of the special commission on the law of the Dortmund police, the authority sees the neo-Nazi scene noticeably weakened in terms of personnel and organization.
"With its propagated fight for the streets, for the parliaments and the heads of the organized right-wing extremism in Dortmund has failed on all points for the time being," said Police President Gregor Lange on Thursday.
It shows an increasing weakness in mobilization.
"The social connection does not succeed," continues Lange.
Right-wing extremist hatred, however, remains a serious risk nationwide and locally.
The scene has not resolved, only changed, he warned.
It is important to look carefully and to maintain the pressure.
According to the police, the number of criminal offenses and violent offenses has decreased significantly since the special commission was set up.
If they registered more than 400 crimes in 2015, there were still around 200 in 2020. In addition, leading figures have left Dortmund or have dropped out.
According to the police, there are now significantly fewer participants in the neo-Nazis' rallies, and their candidates and parties also incurred losses in elections.
The feeling of security in Dortmund, especially in the Dorstfeld district, has increased.
Right-wing extremists had tried for years to create a climate of fear and intimidation there.
The police have significantly increased their presence in the district in recent years and want to continue to adhere to this concept.
Important successes have also been achieved in administrative courts in order to make it more difficult for right-wing extremists to appear threatening during marches, for example by banning relevant slogans.
Many intensive offenders and leaders could be sentenced to imprisonment and fines in court.
