In the early hours of Saturday morning during the carnival weekend, suspected neo-Nazis targeted the Freiraum youth center in Dachau, where a party called 'Dub und Krapfen' was taking place with multiple DJs. They defaced the venue by spray-painting SS runes and Celtic crosses, emblematic symbols of far-right movements, indicating a dark trend of rising extremism in local communities.

Members of the youth center expressed their concerns, stating that attacks like these not only threaten their community but also highlight a broader societal issue. They emphasized that while they may be the first targets, the implications of such violence extend to the whole civil society, stressing the need for solidarity against extremist ideologies. The attack underscores the urgent need to combat the increasing visibility and aggressiveness of far-right movements in Bavaria, particularly as they prepare for local elections.

The incident in Dachau is set against a backdrop of the AfD party significantly increasing its presence in local elections, with three times as many candidacies as six years ago. This trend reflects a potential shift in the political landscape in the Munich region, where the AfD aims to challenge the existing order by promoting a 'bottom-up' approach to their political strategies. This raises important questions about local governance, civil rights, and the ongoing struggle against right-wing extremism in Germany.
