Germany’s Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has launched a new mobile app to help citizens protect themselves amid a sharp rise in knife crime in Berlin. The “Knife App” allows users to report incidents, locate safe zones, and receive real-time alerts about violent hotspots in the capital.The move comes as official statistics show knife-related assaults in Berlin have increased dramatically in recent years, with many incidents linked to migrant communities and failed integration policies.
AfD leaders argue that decades of open-border policies and lenient criminal justice have left German citizens vulnerable in their own cities. Berlin has become a focal point for the debate over public safety, with conservative voices warning that political correctness has prevented authorities from addressing the root causes of the violence. The AfD’s app is positioned as a practical tool for self-defense and awareness in an environment where the government has been slow to respond.
As knife attacks continue to make headlines, the AfD’s app reflects a growing demand among Germans for realistic solutions to rising urban violence and a renewed emphasis on law and order, national security, and the protection of traditional communities.
