The German government continues its fight against right-wing extremist groups. On Wednesday there was another major police raid in twelve states. In addition, the association “The Community of Species – Germanic Community of Essential Life” was banned.
In a statement, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser described “The Species Community” as a “cult-like, deeply racist and anti-Semitic association.” The minister also justified her decision with the interests of the child. She said: “This right-wing extremist group has attempted to create new enemies of the Constitution through disgusting indoctrination of children and young people.”
Organization has 150 members
The ban also applies to all sub-organizations, which, according to security authorities, have approximately 150 members. This includes so-called “associations”, “guilds”, “circles of friends” and an association called “Familienwerk”. According to the information, searches were carried out in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Brandenburg, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Schleswig-Holstein and Thuringia.
To justify the ban, Faeser’s ministry stated that the settler movement spread a worldview that violated human dignity under the guise of a pseudo-religious Germanic belief in gods. The central goal is the preservation and advancement of one’s own ‘species’, which can be equated with the National Socialist concept of ‘race’.
“Hammerskins” was recently banned
Just last week, Faeser banned the elite neo-Nazi group ‘Hammerskins Deutschland’. The minister said that the “species society” was no less dangerous than the “Hammerskins”, especially because of the “manipulative, indoctrinating education of their children” and the spread of corresponding writings.
