35 Meeting Points of the Far-Right Scene in Saxony - Saxony's Far-Right Property Crisis Sparks Political Backlash Over Inaction
Saxony's Interior Ministry faces criticism over its handling of far-right meeting places. A report from 2025 identifies 35 properties linked to right-wing extremists in the state. Meanwhile, Interior Minister Armin Schuster has declared combating such extremism his top priority.
The Left Party in Saxony's state parliament has accused the ministry of failing to take strong enough action. Of the 35 identified locations, only three currently face usage bans—with no new restrictions added since 2024. The exact number of properties removed from far-right control through evictions or legal measures remains unclear.
Far-right groups now effectively control 21 of these properties. Despite Schuster's focus on tackling extremism, critics argue that progress in shutting down these spaces has been slow. The ministry has not provided updated figures on how many locations have been successfully withdrawn from extremist use.
The debate continues over whether Saxony's measures against far-right meeting places are sufficient. With 21 properties still under extremist influence, the state's approach remains under scrutiny. Officials have yet to confirm how many locations have been permanently closed or transferred out of far-right hands.
