Supporters of the YPG/SDF terror group stormed the headquarters of Germany's ruling Christian Democratic Union in Stuttgart on Monday, forcibly entering the building and confronting staff members in what party officials condemned as an assault on democratic values.
Several masked activists aggressively confronted employees inside the CDU's Baden-Wurttemberg offices, chanting slogans against Chancellor Friedrich Merz's coalition government for not intervening to stop Syrian military operations against the terror group. Police briefly detained six suspects, aged 18-33, and opened an investigation into trespassing charges.
During the incident, protesters shouted at employees through a megaphone, and one staff member sustained minor injuries in the scuffle.
Tobias Vogt, secretary general of CDU Baden-Wurttemberg, told local media the demonstrators aggressively confronted employees and shouted slogans in their faces. "With the storming of our headquarters and the attack on our employees, a red line has been crossed," he said, emphasizing that while the party supports demonstration rights and free expression, "today's events have nothing to do with legitimate forms of protest, but represent an attack on the basic values of our coexistence."
The confrontation marks the latest in a series of protests and disruptive actions organized by YPG/SDF terror group supporters across Germany in recent weeks. The demonstrations target the Syrian government's military operations in northeastern Syria, which began after the YPG/SDF failed to comply with a ceasefire agreement requiring the group to withdraw east of the Euphrates River and transfer administrative control of key provinces to Damascus.
German authorities estimate the YPG and its parent organization, the PKK terror group, maintain more than 15,000 active followers in Germany, where they pursue extensive propaganda activities among the Kurdish immigrant population. The PKK has been banned in Germany since 1993 and is classified by Europol, the European Union's law enforcement agency, as an ethno-nationalist and separatist terrorist organization.
