The number of neo-Nazi concerts in Saxony had fallen sharply in 2024. This was recently revealed by an evaluation of the monthly small questions from Left Party politician Juliane Nagel in the Saxon state parliament.
According to this, eleven such events took place in the previous year - irregularly and at changing locations, mostly declared as "song evenings" on a small scale. In 2023, the authorities had registered 22 such live concerts, compared to 23 in the previous year. 2019 saw the highest number to date with 50 such events, the report added.
