• The 2025 'Sachsen rechts unten' report highlights growing extremist actions against Christopher Street Day (CSD) events, particularly in the Oberlausitz region.
• Far-right groups like Elblandrevolte and Urbs Turrium, formed in 2024, are leveraging queerphobia and antifeminism as key recruitment tools, attracting members as young as 13.
• Social media platforms amplify homophobic and antifeminist content, creating echo chambers that facilitate youth radicalization into extremist ideologies.
• One-third of Saxons consider homosexuality 'unnatural,' a societal bias that extremists exploit to gain broader support and normalize their agenda.
• Organizers anticipate continued far-right protests and intimidation at upcoming CSD events, with 12 marches planned in Saxony through September 2025.
