Young Alternative Berlin : AfD-party youth holds a connection to the Identitarian movement

David Eckert has seen quieter days as Chairman of the young Alternative (JA), Berlin. Because the last country-by-country associations were the focus of the constitutional protection, it threatens the overall observation. In the AfD is publicly thought about it, the 2000-member of the party and thus the money flows to secede. Also within the YES it is rumbling violently.

the occasion for the debate are, among other things, an Overlap between members of the YES and of the extreme right-wing Identitarian movement (IB). Although the Identity of the are not on the incompatibility list from AfD, and YES – members are not allowed to be the same time activists of the IB – actually, the borders are fluent. Eckert know: by the end of 2017, the newly elected YES-it was resolved the Board of management under his direction, because the IB-elected activist Jannik Brämer again to the position of Vice chief – incompatibility decision. At the election in January 2018 Brämer came not again, the topic seemed to be off the table.

The networks are on a personal level

On a personal level, however, the networks between IB and YES, there are more, also in Berlin. So Joel Bussmann, since January of 2018, Deputy Eckerts in YES-national Board of Directors posing for months for a Brämer-run fashion label. On Bußmanns chest the Slogan "Defend Berlin" (defend Berlin) emblazoned. Under the Motto "Defend Europe", had done the IB, most recently against the immigration of refugees mobile. The Label, the last several times at conferences of the represented, in 2016, of Brämer and another of the IB course, the activists are expecting founded. Bussmann, member of the nationalist Burschenschaft Gothia, a powerful compound that interferes with the little.

And there are other members of the YES Board, who have good relations to Brämer and the Identity of the maintain. The-Hao Ha was Brämer at the YES-the Confederation Congress in the February shooting. In addition, Ha took part, as well as Talisa Barefoot and Bussmann, demonstrations of IB in Berlin – all the three seats currently on the national Board of Directors of the YES. Just like Benjamin Austin, who travelled in the year 2016, in Vienna, to demonstrate the IB. A photo shows him in a group with the then-YES-Treasurer Jannik Brämer, and Robert Timm, a leading head of the IB in Germany.

"Even in difficult times! I am YES, Berlin"

in view of this Overlap between YES and Identitary, the judgment of Simon Brost, employees of the Mobile consultancy against right-wing extremism in Berlin: "From a complete, and thus credible delimitation of the YES Berlin trusted not to be of the Identitarian movement, the speech may be. If Distancing occurred, then usually only under pressure from the Public. Similarly, a party exclusion proceedings against individual members of the AfD, and then stay at the end of often fruitless.“

that's Exactly the case so far on Brämer. He is still a part of the YES, against him initiated exclusion proceedings are still in progress. Also, a determination procedure to Brämer should have run over on the edge of a IB-action in front of the Federal Ministry of Finance, a civil police officer, almost – is not complete. Brämer self-deny, to be more part of the IB, also the wires to AfD and be capped. He was in January 2018 on a info of the IB in Zehlendorf was pure coincidence. Finally, lived Brämer at the time in the vicinity – more precisely, in the house of Gothia.

And as the national Association of the AfD has positioned itself in the debate about a threat of observation by the constitutional protection? A clear line is missing. While party - and-group-in-chief Georg Pazderski, a "situation report" to wait for will, this is currently a work in progress, the signaled AfD Board of management Mr Thorsten White support for the party youth. "Even in difficult times! I am, YES, Berlin," wrote White on his Facebook page and explained the YES-Berlin at the "Flagship organisation". Was white from 2014 to 2017, Chairman of the YES and declined in this period, repeated a delineation of the IB. By Brämer, he was in the election campaign support. Pazderski criticized White for his contribution. Such solidarity addresses would only give the right impression, YES Berlin, something would be Amiss.

extremism As Right-wing extremists in the AfD-youth romp

David Eckert, in turn, is likely to have on the contribution of White happy. "From the AfD Board of Directors-I would have liked more solidarity. A clear commitment to YES is, as yet, remained out“, he criticized. "A little more backing by the Board of Directors-would do us good," said Eckert, will be on Tuesday evening, a guest at the AfD national Board of Directors. His gaze goes to Brandenburg. AfD country Director Andreas Kalbitz had known clearly to be YES. No wonder: The AfD-right bracket, two young men show their close proximity to the IB openly engaged with the 2017 and October 2018 set YES-the members of Kai Laubach and Joel Bussmann. Also, the participation of the two to a Party of the Berlin Identity with AfD politicians at the fraternity house of the Gothia't stand your job, quite obviously in the way. (with Alexander Fröhlich)
