Frankfurt / Main (dpa) - The lawyer Mehmet Daimagüler, who represented the surviving dependents of the victims of the right-wing terrorist series of murders as a co-plaintiff in the Munich NSU trial, has called for an end to "benevolent ignorance".
"We have to recognize that we have a right-wing extremist problem," he said on Saturday during the Ecumenical Church Congress in Frankfurt at a discussion event on right-wing terrorism in Germany.
It was not only during the investigation into the murders of the NSU terrorist cell that it was trivialized and trivialized.
Caro Keller from the NSU-Watch spoke out for more attention for hate speech on the net. The murder of the Kassel District President Walter Lübcke and the attack in Hanau had shown that the victims had previously been marked by hate speech on the Internet: "There was massive agitation against Walter Lübcke, and there was massive agitation against shisha bars." It is important that society suppresses hatred and that perpetrators cannot develop the feeling that they are acting on behalf of society, so to speak.
"We cannot solve the problem if we only look at the police, the protection of the constitution or politics, we have to look at ourselves," said Daimagüler.
Look not first after racist and right-wing extremist murders, but rather at racist insults in everyday life.
"We live in a country where 99 percent of the people say something when someone jostles at the supermarket checkout and 99 percent remain silent when the dignity of another person is violated," said the lawyer.
"The fight against right-wing extremism must begin with the fight against your own weaker self."
It is important not only to pay attention to one's own minority or interest group: "If I am committed to synagogue security, I am committed to all of us."
