The parliamentary group of the Greens has put together a catalog of proposals to take more effective action against right-wing extremism.
Her interior expert believes that Thuringia has not yet had a convincing strategy.
Erfurt - The parliamentary group of the Greens has proposed the formation of a public prosecutor's office that focuses on right-wing extremism and hate crime in Thuringia.
In addition, there should be an “online patrol” by the police in order to be able to act more effectively against hatred in social networks.
This provides for a paper from the group with proposals to curb right-wing extremist tendencies.
"In the last few months we have noticed a significant increase in racist, anti-Semitic and ideological conspiracy ways of thinking," said the parliamentary group leader Astrid Rothe-Beinlich of the German press agency.
Right-wing attacks such as those in Hanau and Halle had previously shown "that racist and anti-Semitic agitation can turn into terrible acts of violence".
According to the parliamentary group, the paper was passed unanimously.
In it, the MPs demand, among other things, increased offers at schools to improve the media literacy of schoolchildren so that they are able to recognize fake news and disinformation campaigns.
In addition, the Greens are in favor of a law promoting democracy at the state level.

Criticism of family card implementation not only from the opposition
The parliamentary group is critical of the actions of the red-red-green state government they support in the fight against right-wing extremism.
So far, there has been no overall strategy that opposes the phenomenon of right-wing extremism, said the Green Party’s interior politician, Madeleine Henfling.
Since it is now clear that the state parliament will not be triggered prematurely, red-red-green must quickly draft a strategy to make it a focus of state politics in the next three years.
“We actually don't have any knowledge problem at all, just an action deficit,” said Henfling.
The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice in particular did not act consistently enough against right-wing extremist structures and criminals.
“I would just wish that we didn't have to constantly stand on the feet of our ministries when it comes to this issue.” According to the interior expert of the Greens, the Thuringian CDU also has a problem with its delimitation to the right: “Parts of the CDU are open to the right. "
Henfling denied that more money would have to be made available in the state budget for a more decisive fight against the law.
Sufficient funds are available for this.
"It's a question of prioritization."
In their paper, the Greens write that right-wing extremist attitudes occur not only among men but also among women - even if this fact is often underestimated.
"But they are far more than the social cement in right-wing extremist and racist associations and often perform important and leading functions." That is why the Greens are calling for offers to leave the right-wing extremist scene specially tailored to girls and women.
