Leipzig, Germany: Rothkegel Lorries Burnt

Last night  8 nov, we found ourselves in the Knauthain neighbourhood, in the west of Leipzig. During our nocturnal excursion, we noticed two lorries of the Rothkegel company [construction material ; NdAtt.]. By chance, we just happened to have some incendiary devices in our bags, which we placed close to the lorries.

You could ask yourself: « Why all that? »
We can tell you with pleasure. Claus-Uwe Rothkegel is an old city councilor of the CDU* and, on 2nd October 2025, he put his warehouse, situated at 11 Salzstraße, at disposition for the « Sin City Fight Night ». In summary, we can say that during this event, organised neonazis, bikers and other vile personages marched through the streets. The Fight Night had been organised by the «Sin City Boxgym», which for a long time has been known for its strong anchorage in the nazi milieu of Leipzig. It is a proven fact that the director of this construction material company, Richard Rothkeg, has links with neonazis and that he got into the ring during this event. More information about this event ici.

The collusion between the CDU and the fascists has a long tradition. At the present time, one can see how the CDU is playing the racist politic of the AfD [Alternative für Deutschland, [the main German extreme right party ; NdAtt.] ; in the campaign, its cooperation with AfD is current and also at the federal level of the Länder it won’t take long before the last inhibitions fall. Even if we don’t know what to expect this jeu d’équipe could get up to soon, it should be pointed out that for years the CDU has been taking a more and more authoritarian line. Merz celebrated his victory with the announcement of the end of the left. With Dobrindt, sits in the Ministry of the Interior one who never stops fantasizing about the «conservative revolution». Weimer, the minister for Culture, assimilates the antifa movement with nazis and has been carrying out a struggle against « woke-ism » for years.

Calls for re-migration resonate when the AfD march through the streets. But at the moment it is the CDU who, yet again, are massively attacking the right of asylum and are talking about mass expulsions to Syria. They don’t give a damn about the people who need to flee. This subject is used this way in the struggle for power, so as not to leave all the racists to the AfD. We mustn’t forget, in focalising on the AfD, that an authoritarian State is not born from nowhere, there needs to be a constant slide in that direction. And here all the parties can be held responsible, which the legislative tightenings of the past few years clearly show. But in any case, we don’t give a shit about parliamentarianism.

Five years ago, with the Antifa Ost trial, the biggest offensive against antifascist structures for a long time began. A step that all the parties, from the Greens right to the AfD, are all in total agreement with. And the repression strides ahead: there are more people in jail now than there have been for a long time, and fear is spreading throughout a large part of the milieu. Precisely when it is necessary to act against the rise of fascism and the authoritarian State, the autonomous left is massively on the defensive.

The present time seems dark, but the future will not necessarily be so.

Let’s put an end to being on the defensive, let’s look there where the fascists and conservatives meet, let’s attack their economic connections. We join the people of Hamburg [see here ; NdAtt.]: whether with the hammer or with fire, antifascism means attack!

Five years ago, Lina was put on remand and had to remain so right to the end of the trial; now she and the others accused are in jail again, doing their sentence. We dedicate this fire to them!

Freedom to Maja, Nanuk, Luca, Nele, Paula, Paul, Johann, Hanna, Tobi, Emmi and all the  antifas !
Freedom to all the prisoners !
A hug to all those who had to go on the run!
