Yes, Weimar, you do have a Nazi problem and a racism problem, and those who don't want to admit it,<\/a>obviously does not listen to the affected residents of this city and shuts their eyes to the constantly present right-wing violence in Weimar<\/a>. This encourages fascists to commit further attacks and acts of violence and ensures that the few places in this city that clearly position themselves for a queerfeminist, anti-racist, open society close down out of understandable frustration and exhaustion, as is now the case with Caf\u00e9 Spunk. After a series of attacks - including the breaking of a window pane, the throwing of paint bombs, and most recently the destruction of a Pride flag and caf\u00e9 equipment and threats to staff and customers in broad daylight - the operators have had enough.
