The noble warriors of Antifa are getting bolder in their attacks on “right-wing extremists” in Germany. In the past we’ve covered the case of Frank Magnitz, the local AfD leader in Bremen, who was severely beaten on the street. Now it’s the turn of Oliver Flesch, a journalist and activist who was attacked in Berlin by antifas carrying poles and clubs. The police response was to officially prohibit him from using the street on which he was attacked.

Video transcript:

00:00 We and our citizens are subjected to reprisals if they express their political opinions freely,

00:08 and especially when these opinions do not correspond to the mainstream.

00:11 Some of the people exposed to these reprisals

00:14 lose their jobs. Many people are afraid to express their opinions freely

00:17 in this country for fear of being threatened.

00:20 In this country, proprietors are threatened, shop windows are broken,

00:26 houses are smeared with paint, and cars are lit on fire.

00:32 Our colleagues have been beaten so badly that they land in the hospital.

00:36 Frank Magnitz is the most well-known case.

00:41 Uwe Junge was also beaten up openly in the street, and now,

00:47 following the Free Media Conference, Oliver Flesch was attacked

00:53 by 12 people with poles. These conditions are really similar

00:58 to what we had in the ’30s. If we point this out, then it is dismissed

01:04 with disapproval. An escalation hasn’t occurred as it did in the ’30s

01:10 only because we always react in a sensible and civil manner.

01:18 We never strike back when the left-wing extremist thugs strike us,

01:22 in contrast to what happened in the ’30s. That’s the only reason

01:25 we don’t see street battles taking place. The aggression and

01:28 organized violence are coming from the other side.

01:31 This is exactly the reason why we decided to have this conference about freedom of expression.

01:38 During the conference we wanted to discuss with media representatives

01:42 how to restore media freedom here in Germany.

01:47 Get-well wishes from Alice Weidel

01:51 Berliner Zeitung: “Right-wing populist beaten with poles and clubs on Rigaer Street”

01:57 People with differing opinions are fair game!

02:00 The headline alone attempts to relativize the left-extremist attack.

02:04 It is incomprehensible what is happening in this country. Get well soon!

02:08 Man beaten with poles and clubs by several masked attackers. Victim refused hospital care. Group

03:12 Hello! I’m standing in front of the regional criminal investigation office.

03:16 I just made my statement. It was so-so and I got fairly annoyed.

03:20 There were three people. Two women, one man. The man was OK.

03:23 One woman said nothing. The other woman really got on my nerves. I’ll talk about that later.

03:30 This is the criminal complaint. This is the file number,

03:35 and I have been officially prohibited from using the Rigaer Street

03:40 by this woman. I told her, “You know what?! You should have banned

03:44 those (squatting) leftist fascists; then I wouldn’t
