‘Migrantifa’: German Newspaper Notes Emergence of New Hard Left Street Group
The violent hard-left Antifa are already well known, but a splinter group in Germany with a laser focus on race has taken to the streets and it is bent on “revolution towards a classless society”, reports a top newspaper.
‘Migrantifa’ — of course a portmanteau neologism of
migrant and
Antifascist Action — protested in Berlin on Friday night, a demonstration that devolved into scuffles and arrests after police attempted to shut down banned antisemitic chants. Establishment German newspaper
Die Welt gives a rundown on the group which has bubbled under the surface for a few years but now gains new prominence.
The report noted the Monday night rally, called on the anniversary of a terror attack against a
shisha bar in Germany that killed nine, attracted 3,500 protesters — Migrantifa themselves claimed “over 10,000” attended — and that chants were led and speeches were given. Describing the extremist worldview held by the Migrantifa group as expressed through the words of its speakers,
Welt said the group seamlessly blended anger over Gaza with conspiracy theories about German racism against migrants, seeing no political party as representing migrant interests.
