Berlin Authorities Target Antifascist Association VVN-BdA Again
The VVN-BdA (Association of Persecutees of the Nazi Regime – Federation of Antifascists) is once again under scrutiny by Berlin financial authorities regarding its non-profit status. This follows a physical altercation at the 'Widersetzen' protests against the Erfurt AfD party congress. The association has faced repeated delegitimization efforts, including bank account cancellations, attacks from right-wing media, and previous revocation and reinstatement of its charitable status. The Berlin authorities are now reviewing its registered association (e.V.) status. The article questions whether these coordinated actions are coincidental or systematic.
