Germany Takes Action: Banning Neo-Nazi Group Hammerskins

Germany has banned the neo-Nazi group Hammerskins, known for organizing far-right concerts and selling racist music. The authorities conducted raids on the residences of 28 leading members across the country. Hammerskins, founded in the US in the late 1980s, has approximately 130 members in Germany. The ban is seen as a significant blow against organized right-wing extremism and aims to put an end to the group's inhumane actions. Germany's interior minister emphasized that right-wing extremism remains the biggest threat to democracy, and the government will continue to act decisively against it. This is the 20th time a right-wing extremist association has been outlawed in Germany.
