Press Statement Jörg Hofmann condemns the attempted storming of the Reichstag

Jörg Hofmann: “The right to demonstrate is a precious right. We trade unionists, in particular, know this and are firmly committed to it. But when—as happened on Saturday—far-right extremists abuse this fundamental right to attack the institutions of our constitutional state, the constitutional state must take decisive action. Attempting to storm a site of such historical significance as the Reichstag, with Nazi symbols and black-white-red flags in hand, has nothing to do with the democratic expression of opinion. Nip it in the bud—our resolute stance against fascism and racism in this country remains essential!”
