AfD Berlin

AfD Berlin, the Berlin branch of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, is a right-wing political party in Germany. They are currently newsworthy due to the launch of their "Messer-App" (knife app). This app is designed to track and display incidents of knife attacks within Berlin. According to the AfD, there are approximately ten knife incidents per day in Berlin. Kristin Brinker, the parliamentary group leader of AfD Berlin, discussed the app and the rising crime rates in Berlin on WELT TV, indicating that the app may expand to include other types of offenses in the future. The app is intended to pressure the Berlin Senate to release more data on knife crime. This initiative highlights the AfD's focus on crime and security issues and their criticism of the current Berlin government's handling of these matters.
