Proteste während Gründung von AfD-Jugend in Bayern – „Generation Braunschnabel“

Ende November hat sich die neue bundesweite Jugendorganisation der AfD gegründet. Nun ist Bayern dran. CSU-Generalsekretär Huber findet dafür deutliche Worte. München – Am 29. November gründete sich die AfD-Jugendorganisation „Generation Deutschland“ in Gießen. Die Parteiprominenz inklusive des teils extrem rechten Umfelds waren vor Ort sowie Tausende Gegendemonstranten. Nun folgt der bayrische Landesverband mit einem eigenen Ableger, der sich im mittelfränkischen Greding gründete: Landesvorsitzender wurde der AfD-Abgeordnete Franz Schmid nach eigenen Angaben. Der Landtagsabgeordnete Franz Schmid (AfD) ist Vorsitzender des bayerischen Landesverbandes der AfD-Jugendorganisation. © Stefan Puchner/dpa „Das Jugendstatut wurde einstimmig angenommen, das war der Beginn der Generation Deutschland Bayern“, sagte Schmid am Samstagnachmittag (20. Dezember) vor Journalisten. „Wir haben jetzt den ersten Vorsitzenden gewählt, das bin ich.“ Schmid, der schon Landesvorsitzender der Vorgängerorganisation „Junge Alternative“ war, hatte seine Kandidatur Anfang Dezember auf X erklärt. Medien waren nicht zu dem Gründungstreffen zugelassen, da man nicht genügend Platz habe. CSU-Generalsekretär Martin Huber kritisiert den bayerischen AfD-Nachwuchs „Generation Deutschland“ Schmid wird vom Bayerischen Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz beobachtet und war schon Landesvorsitzender der aufgelösten Vorgängerorganisation „Junge Alternative“. Dass sich die „Generation Deutschland“ in Bayern inhaltlich neu aufstellt, sieht Schmid nicht. „Wir hatten gute Inhalte. Wir werden uns jetzt tatsächlich professionalisieren. Es gibt mehr Mittel, mehr finanzielle Mittel für uns.“ Die Junge Alternative habe immer das Problem gehabt, wenig finanzielle Möglichkeiten zu haben.

VORWURF KORRUPTION UND BEREICHERUNG – „Gehören auf die Anklagebank“: Ex-Generalsekretär der AfD Sachsen-Anhalt erhebt schwerste Vorwürfe gegen Parteispitze

Aufruhr in der AfD Sachsen-Anhalt: Der frühere Generalsekretär Jan Wenzel Schmidt will ab Januar wöchentlich Belege für Vetternwirtschaft und Missbrauch öffentlicher Gelder durch Parteifreunde auf den Tisch legen. Was bislang bekannt ist. Einer der bislang wichtigsten AfD-Politiker Sachsen-Anhalts kündigt eine Generalabrechnung mit der eigenen Parteispitze an. Jan Wenzel Schmidt, Bundestagsabgeordneter und bis Februar Generalsekretär der Landespartei, wirft den Parteifreunden Machtmissbrauch, Korruption und Bereicherung auf Kosten des Steuerzahlers vor. „Einige Akteure gehören auf die Anklagebank und nicht auf die Regierungsbank“, schreibt Schmidt in einer E-Mail an den Landesvorstand. Der 34-Jährige kündigt darin an, ab der zweiten Januarwoche dem Bundes- und dem Landesvorstand im Wochenrhythmus Belege für Fehlverhalten zahlreicher Vorstandsmitglieder vorzulegen: „Jede Mail enthält konkrete Beweise, Zahlen, Namen und Dokumente.“ Auf Nachfrage bestätigte Schmidt, dass die der MZ vorliegende E-Mail von ihm stammt. Haben AfD-Politiker Geschwister und Ehefrauen auf Steuerzahlerkosten versorgt? Bislang ohne Namen zu nennen, wirft Schmidt Vorstandsmitgliedern vor, Abgeordneten-Dienstreisen zu privaten Vergnügungsreisen umfunktioniert zu haben. Konkret ist die Rede von Trips nach New York, Disneyland und Griechenland. Diese Fahrten seien „unter dem Deckmantel parlamentarischer Tätigkeit“ erfolgt. Weitere Vorwürfe kreisen um die Versorgung von Verwandten mit steuergeldfinanzierten Posten. Mindestens fünf Mitglieder des Landesvorstands sollen Schmidt zufolge ihre Ehefrauen bei Abgeordneten beschäftigt haben.

Russian church held gathering for neo-Nazis

The Russian Orthodox Church presents itself as a moral pillar of society and a defender of Christian tradition. But a recent gathering in St. Petersburg has raised questions about how faith is being used in Russia today. Far-right and neo-Nazi groups from Europe, Africa and Latin America gathered in St. Petersburg in September 2025. They met up to launch a new movement called the International Sovereigntist League Paladins. According to open-source reporting cited by investigators and activists, the group openly promotes “white Christian values” and states that “White Christians cannot coexist with non-whites.” The event was reported by independent journalists and researchers monitoring extremist networks. Delegates from at least 12 countries attended, representing groups such as Greece’s Golden Dawn, Italy’s Forza Nuova, Hungary’s 64 County Movement and the UK’s Patriotic Alternative. (…) A Russian Orthodox cleric was present at the conference itself, while a Spanish Catholic priest and a South African Protestant pastor sent video blessings. Organisers described the moment as a “White Christian nationalist” gathering, according to posts reviewed by researchers. Kremlin-linked figures The conference was opened by Konstantin Malofeev, a sanctioned Russian billionaire often described in media reports as the “Orthodox oligarch,” alongside ultranationalist ideologue Alexander Dugin. Malofeev is the founder of Tsargrad, an Orthodox-fundamentalist media network that promotes imperial and anti-Western ideology. According to reports by the Financial Times and RFE/RL, Malofeev has previously supported pro-Russian operations in Crimea and eastern Ukraine and has publicly backed Russia’s invasion.

Parents’ head alleges over 100 pupils in Larnaca linked to neo-Nazi group Cyprus

New revelations aired on state television on Friday regarding recent organised neo-Nazi activity at Vergina High School in Larnaca with allegations that more than 100 pupils are actively involved and others have received extremist training abroad. Speaking on CyBC, parent’s association president Loizos Constantinou claimed a ‘structured group’ has been operating for ‘at least two years’ at Vergina, creating what he described as ‘a climate of intimidation’ for other pupils. He said the scale and organisation of the group go far beyond childish provocation or ignorance. “The number of the group is in the three digits,” Constantinou said, suggesting that specific students had travelled to Greece, to a particular location linked to extremist networks. “This means there is a centre recruiting from outside Cyprus,” he warned. Konstantinou said he had information on a group of pupils who travelled recently to Greece to make direct contact with extremist groups. (…) Constantinou lambasted the ‘sheer negligence’ of the school authorities, particularly the failure to remove fascist symbols emblazoned on campus. He said swastikas were left on walls for two or three months, suggesting a message of remarkable tolerance or indifference. “When you enter a school and see slogans and symbols like that, it is like entering a neo-Nazi stronghold,” he said. “The simplest thing would have been for them to disappear the next day, in a matter of minutes.” He added that the school knew which pupils were involved and could have identified those responsible quickly, including those appearing in photographs and those coordinating the activity. “You do not need many people to cause damage,” he said. “The mass is affected.” According to Constantinou, the group has been expanding steadily over the past two years, and the education ministry holds additional evidence.

Authorities are moving swiftly after photos circulated online showing a group of Larnaca high school students giving Nazi salutes, drawing swastikas, and sharing extremist ideology. While the Education Ministry and the school are handling the matter internally, the cybercrime unit has launched its own investigation to trace the social media account that posted the content. Identifying the students is proving tricky, as some faces were obscured in the images. School officials are reportedly preparing disciplinary measures for those involved. The principal is expected to impose penalties aimed at addressing both the actions and the wider influence these students may have tried to exert on classmates; Over 100 youths in Larnaca “Nazi organisation” travelled to Greece for training, parents’ head warns More than 100 young people from Larnaca belong to a “Nazi organisation” that has sent members to Greece for training with extremist groups, the head of Cyprus’s parents’ confederation warned on Friday. Loizos Konstantinou, president of the Confederation of Secondary Education Parents’ Associations, said a fascist cell of pupils at Vergina Lyceum has operated for two years, creating what he called a “climate of terrorism” amongst other pupils whilst school authorities left swastikas on walls for months. “The number of the group is in the three digits,” Konstantinou told state television, revealing that students “visited Greece, they didn’t go on holiday, they went to a specific place. So it means there is a centre outside Cyprus.” The disclosure escalates a controversy over students photographed giving Nazi salutes, allegedly proselytising others to their organisation, and vandalising the school with swastikas. (…) Konstantinou accused the school of negligence. “When you see the swastika on the school wall and leave it there for two, three months. What is that? The simplest thing the next day should have disappeared in a few minutes.” He said students entering the school saw slogans, describing it as looking “like you’re entering the neo-Nazi lair”. The school knew which children were involved and could easily provide details in minutes, he said. The group has been expanding over the past two years, with the Ministry holding further evidence. “We have become very concerned. For this reason we contacted the Ministry and procedures are proceeding with investigations and today there will be further development,” Konstantinou said.

Stanislav Orlov, Head of Notorious “Espanola” Neo-Nazi Brigade, Reportedly Killed Amid $18M Theft Probe

Stanislav Orlov, the founder of the Russian reconnaissance and sabotage brigade “Espanola”, has been killed in Russia, Militarnyi reported on December 19, citing Russian war correspondents and statements from the unit itself. According to information published by pro-Russian military bloggers, Orlov, known by the callsign “Spaniard,” died from gunshot wounds sustained during his detention. He was reportedly accused of illegally misappropriating 1.5 billion rubles (approximately $18.5 million). The pro-Kremlin outlet Mash claimed that Orlov had been in a coma for several days prior to his death, though the exact cause of the coma was not disclosed. In a statement released by the brigade, relatives and associates announced plans for a farewell ceremony, describing Orlov as the “leader, creator, and inspiration” behind Espanola. At the same time, the unit admitted it does not yet know the precise circumstances, location, or perpetrators involved in his death, stating that Russian investigative authorities are still determining the details. Earlier reports suggested that another Espanola volunteer, Oleksii Zhyvov, may also have been detained alongside Orlov in connection with an alleged illegal arms trafficking case. However, there was no official confirmation, and Zhyvov later stated publicly that he was unharmed. Orlov arrived in the Russian-occupied Donbas in 2014, joining militants linked to Igor Bezler’s brigade. He later organized and commanded a reconnaissance unit known as “Skull and Bones.” In 2022, he founded the Espanola brigade, which included hundreds of far-right extremists and neo-Nazis.

In rare public comments, career DOJ officials offer chilling warnings about online network #764 – #terror

Members use social platforms to push vulnerable teens into harming themselves. In striking and chilling terms, several career Justice Department officials on Thursday offered dire warnings about the online extremist network “764,” whose young followers around the world use popular social media platforms to target, groom and push vulnerable teens into harming themselves and others. “I don’t think Stephen King is dark enough to come up with some of the stuff that these kids are coming up with,” said Justin Sher, a trial attorney with the Justice Department’s National Security Division. “It is as serious a threat as you can imagine,” said Sher’s colleague James Donnelly, the DOJ’s domestic terrorism coordinator. “[And] they’re trying to metastasize the evil.” Their comments came during a panel about 764 hosted by George Washington University’s Program on Extremism. It was a rare public appearance for two career prosecutors who the panel’s moderator described as “the point people” on 764 within the department’s National Security Division. Sher and Donnelly both noted that 764 members are increasingly trying to push victims to take deadly actions, including suicide or school shootings and other mass-casualty attacks. As ABC News has previously reported, 764 members find vulnerable victims on popular online platforms, elicit private information and intimate sexual images from them, and then use that sensitive material to threaten and blackmail victims into mutilating themselves, harming others, or taking other violent action — all while streaming it on social media so others can watch and then disseminate recordings of it. “For them, content is currency,” Sher said. “So they are building their content inventory … and putting it out there to build their status within these groups.”
