Queer people in Saxony face rising hate crimes. The state's Social Affairs Ministry reported this development.

The figures are deeply concerning. Three-quarters of all queer-targeted crimes have right-wing motives. This means perpetrators act from far-right extremist ideologies.

Hate crimes target specific groups of people. Queer-targeted crimes affect gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender victims. Perpetrators choose victims specifically because they are queer.

Crime numbers have increased recently in Saxony. This represents a serious development. Queer people feel less safe on streets and in public spaces.

Experts worry about this troubling trend. Right-wing extremist groups are becoming more active in Saxony. They increasingly target vulnerable groups, including the queer community.

Organisations supporting queer people demand stronger political action. They want better victim protection measures. They also seek improved education in schools and communities.

Saxony police promised to take this situation seriously. Officers will receive more hate crime training. Cooperation with queer organisations will also be strengthened.

Queer people in Saxony call for community solidarity. They want society to firmly oppose violence and discrimination. Everyone deserves safe living, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Saxony's hate crime increase reflects broader trends across Germany. Queer-targeted hatred is rising in other regions too. Politicians and civil organisations seek solutions to stop this dangerous trend.
