Right -wing extremist gesture in the stadium: urgent need for action for the UEFA

request for consequences for wolf greeting at EM quarter-finals: UEFA must initiate investigation against fans

The index finger is clearly aimed at the fans of the Turkish national team after the right-wing extremist Wolfsgress was shown during the European Championship quarter final game. An investigation against these fans must be initiated by the UEFA, call for human rights activists. They argue that such gestures in the stadium must not remain without consequences and have to be punished with stadium bans.

The ideology of the "gray wolves" is considered dangerous and the German federal government is asked to take this seriously. Associations with connections to this group should no longer be financially supported and the victims of this ideology need more support.

By ordering the German ambassador in Turkey and the unofficial visit of Erdoğan in Berlin, the Turkish government has clearly expressed its support for the right -wing extremist and racist ideology of the "gray wolves". These actions should result in consequences on the part of the German federal government.

The "gray wolves" are deeply embedded in the Turkish state, explains Sido. In the past few days, soldiers of the Turkish army have killed, injured and arrested in northern Syria. The victims had protested the attacks on Syrian refugees in Turkey and a possible deal between Erdoğan and Assad. In Iraq and Syria, the Turkish military states that around 1322 Kurdish "terrorists" have been eliminated since the beginning of 2024. The deeds in northern Syria are celebrated by the "gray wolves", as well as the expulsion of the Armenians from Bergkarabach in 2023.

It is important that the UEFA initiates an investigation against the fans of the Turkish national team in order to set a sign of fighting right -wing extremism and racism in sport. The German Federal Government must recognize the danger of the "gray wolves" and take appropriate measures in order not to support their ideology. It is time to send the victims of this ideology more support and solidarity.
