Germany saw more politically motivated crimes in 2021
The number of politically motivated crimes reported in Germany rose 23% last year compared to the year before, Germany's top security official said Tuesday. The increase included a sharp rise in crimes that could not be assigned to the traditional categories of crimes motivated by right-wing or left-wing ideology, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said. A significant proportion of these “more diverse and diffuse” offenses were committed in connection with coronavirus restrictions and Germany's 2021 federal election, Faeser told reporters in Berlin . Overall, Germany had 55,048 politically motivated crimes last year, the most since public agencies started tracking the data in 2001, the minister said. “We must protect our democracy with all our strength,” Faeser said. “Politically motivated crime is an indicator of the intensity of social conflicts."

GENEVA -- — Watching the recent news from Ukraine is “very upsetting," No. 2-ranked tennis player Daniil Medvedev said Sunday of the war that led Wimbledon organizers to ban him and other Russians from their tournament.
