Gang of thugs: Left Party leader outraged over extradition to Hungary

Actions have consequences — also for the German Left. A suspected member of the so-called Hammer Gang committed serious acts of violence in Hungary and is now being extradited to the country. Left Party leader Schirdewan is outraged.

Berlin

The head of Die Linke [Left Party], Martin Schirdewan, has sharply criticized the extradition of the German left-wing extremist and violent offender Simeon T. The self-proclaimed trans person, whom he described as an “anti-fascist,” was “extraordinarily handed over to Orbán’s regime in Hungary in a cloak-and-dagger operation,” he wrote on X. “Apparently, the Berlin Attorney General’s Office has deliberately ignored the Federal Constitutional Court’s emergency decision. This is an open attack on the rule of law and must have consequences.” He also called the decision a “disgrace for Germany.” [But travelling to Budapest for the sole purpose of violently attacking and injuring people is a credit to Germany? I guess you’ll have to be a complete ideological retard to believe that.]

The background is that Simeon T., who calls himself “Maja”, is said to have committed serious acts of violence in Budapest, Hungary, in February last year. Between February 9 and 11, T. and other accomplices reportedly spied on suspected right-wing extremists, who were then attacked in a life-threatening manner by his accomplices with telescopic bats and hammers. In another situation, he is said to have sprayed an unknown substance into faces. Security authorities assume that he is a member of the so-called “Hammer Gang”. [Did someone pull the stinger out of that bee?]

Just imagine: in Germany, left-wing circles support Simeon T., who in Hungary smashed another person’s skull with a hammer under the guise of “anti-fascism” — treacherously from behind. #Maja https://t.co/x7tiJWDFkX https://t.co/KDH95BYKkF

Constitutional Court: Extradition to Hungary is legal

Some of the suspects were arrested in Hungary, others were sought on arrest warrants and subsequently extradited. Because Simeon T. was arrested in Berlin, the Berlin Higher Regional Court and the Berlin Public Prosecutor’s Office were responsible for the extradition. On Thursday, the Higher Regional Court confirmed the extradition as legal, and the Public Prosecutor’s Office subsequently applied for it.

On Friday, the Federal Constitutional Court prohibited the extradition of T. to Hungary — but he was already out of the country by then. The extradition had already taken place at the time of the decision, said a spokesman for the court. He stressed that the extradition back to Germany could not be derived from the Karlsruhe judges’ ruling and that the entire process had been carried out legally and correctly.

Schirdewan and other leftists argue against the extradition because Hungary does not offer humane prison conditions — especially for self-proclaimed “non-binary” people. [Since he’s “non-binary”, why would he need “humane prison conditions”? Did he show any shred of humanity towards his victims in the first place? I don’t think so. Let him rot in an oubliette.]

Afterword from the translator:

I have more trust in the Hungarian justice system than in the German one. Hungary is, after all, a European constitutional state that isn’t ruled by woke, genocidal crybabies that throw their temper tantrums every time someone doesn’t want to play they victim any longer. And I hope that this guy finds his big hairy Bubba to look after him, and maybe they can send this Schirdewan after, since he’s an advocate for violence against others.
