Members of Polonia Hanover proudly emphasize that they are the largest Polish club in Germany. But due to their origins, they experience many unpleasantness in the world. During 1 of the last matches, they were blocked by masked and armed kibols who lynched Poles from “fascist” and “Nazis”.
The event occurred on 25 February on a Sunday afternoon at SV 07 Linden Stadium in Hanover. At 14 p.m. on the side pitch, the game was scheduled to start as part of the Kreisklasse (10th tier) competition between Polonia and SV 07 reserves Linden – the last squad in the table (Polonia presently ranked 4th). However, the gathering did not take place due to the fact that masked fans of SV 07 Linden did not let Poles to enter the facility. The police showed up.
The case as reported by the local paper “Neue Presse”.
The match did not happen due to the fact that Linden fans, any of whom were masked, blocked the guest squad access to the facility. seemingly for political reasons [...] SV Linden fans can be attributed to Antifa, or active fight against right-wing extremism. They accuse Polish players of belonging to the far right – reads the article “Why SV 07 Linden fans refused SC Polonia to enter the facility?”.
The text besides included the account of 1 of the players who claimed that masked kiboles called Poles "fascists" and "nazists" and had batons in their hands.
The situation was besides commented by erstwhile squad manager.
It was expected to be just a game day. The boys agreed on a fundraiser at the stadium after 12. 3 of our football players appeared in the parking lot at the facility. Suddenly, 4 guys came out of a close diner in ski masks with batons in their hands and started aggressively addressing us. 1 of our footballers ran away... luckily, nothing happened to him. After a while, 30 Linden fans “split” from the restaurant. How come there's so many at the reserve game? It was a bit of a coincidence due to the fact that they were gathered to go to the first-team game, but this 1 was cancelled. They saw Polonia coming and decided to stay. They did not let us to enter the object, they said there would be no match – explained Jarosław Wąsik, erstwhile squad manager, and now a board associate of Polonia Hanover.
Kibole from the far left Fanshane group 1907 They referred to the Polonia incidental on their Instagram profile. In the message we can find highly anti-Polish content like comparing our country to an authoritarian government or naming the March of independency "a drive of right-wing extremists".
In a time of increasing shift to the right, both around the planet and in Germany, it is vital not to stay passive if we take the "Never Again" motto seriously. It is essential not to give Nazis any space to spread their inhuman, fascist ideology, whether from “national” neo-Nazis or right-wing extremist groups from another countries. As far as Poland is concerned, many right-wing proofs have been collected in fresh years concerning the activities of right-wing extremists. The alleged independency marches in Poland are an alarming example of the increasing presence of right-wing extremist ideology. What started under the cover of “innocent patriotism” has turned into a place of meetings between neo-Nazis and fascists from Poland and abroad, we read.
Encouraging racist and anti-Semitic hatred and promoting force against their enemies. Democratic restrictions in Poland are besides highly worrying, especially from the right-wing Law and Justice. The independency of the judiciary is threatened, freedom of the press is restricted and freedom of speech is threatened. The situation of women and LGBTQ+ community is peculiarly worrying in Poland, where provisions limiting women's reproductive rights and repression of LGBTQ+ communities reflect risks a shift towards repressive authoritarian regimes – wrote Fanshene 1907 on another slide.
Polonia Hannover footballers explain that in Germany they have always been treated as a ‘fifth wheel’.
We've always been treated like a 5th wheel, and in fresh years, it's gotten worse due to the fact that we started fighting it. The best example is the situation from the erstwhile period erstwhile we played distant from VfB Wuelfel. After our club player scored a goal at 2:1 in the 92nd minute, a regular fight broke out. The people from the reserve bench of the hosts threw glass bottles at us, the justice ran to the edge of the field, whistled at the end of the match and fled to the locker room. erstwhile we tried to get off the turf, we were being attacked by “kibice” hosts who tried to beat us. Regular footballers were beaten before entering the building. There were 25 police cars, 50 police officers. The case went to a union that... punished Polonia financially," explains Wąsik.
