Antifas on the Offensive – Making Gera Nazi-Free”

Departure from Jena West:

Text from Aktion antifa Gera:

“Antifas on the Offensive – Make Gera Nazi-Free! Every Monday, the fascist march, complete with Nazi symbols like Reich flags and the “Die Heimat” party flag, still goes through the center of Gera. No wonder, since the organizer is now active on the federal board of that same party. Furthermore, there are more young people to be seen at the Nazi demo. The heyday of the new “Gera Youth” as a youth front block seemed briefly to be over. For four weeks, this block was absent, and in the livestream, internal problems were discussed. Now, the frontmen and self-proclaimed “national socialists,” Pascal Chmielewski, Eric Vogelgesang, and Etienne Klupp, are back, albeit with a somewhat reduced following.

At the same time, this circle forms a vigilante group, which has been patrolling through the center of Gera, usually with dogs and baseball bats, for several weeks. Right-wing spatial appropriation par excellence. Incidents with people perceived as migrants have already occurred.

Since October 28th, the situation in Gera has become very peculiar: a former SPD member and former organizer of the Monday protests by the “Gera against the Right” action group began meeting with Christian Klar. Under the influence of alcohol and his own craving for recognition (the two fit well together), they were chumming around in a live YouTube stream and advocating for more “togetherness” in Gera. Internally, CPU justifies his betrayal with all sorts of absurdities like “the safety of demonstration participants.” Also involved in the Gera cross-front farce is former Left Party member Christian Rudolph, who, in all seriousness, referred to Christian Klar as an “antifascist” on the YouTube Nazi livestream.

Christian Klar’s cross-front conspiracies surfaced a few weeks ago. He organized a panel discussion on November 30, 2024, for which he contacted several people from different parties. He received rejections from most of the representatives. We explicitly welcome this clear anti-fascist stance, because there is no basis for discussion with representatives of an ideology that made Auschwitz possible! Therefore, join us for the rally on December 16, 2024 at 6 PM at Museumsplatz in Gera. Not an inch to the fascists!
