New Europe: Armed neo-Nazi group issues death threat to Guy Verhofstadt
“Last Thursday, the neo-Nazi group Feuerkrieg Division (FKD), inspired by James Mason’s Siege and the Atomwaffen Division, posted propaganda on their Gab account calling for violence against MEP Guy Verhofstadt. Speaking to the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) whose researchers found the content and reported it to the European authorities on April 4, 2019, have written a report about the group’s practices. David Ibsen CEP’s Executive Director stated: 'The time to allow online providers to regulate the content they publish to the world has come and gone. In the aftermath of the killings of MP Jo Cox and Mayor of Gdansk Pawel Adamowicz, European lawmakers united in ensuring justice was done. These radicals are European, they are active online and they are recruiting. Proactive approaches save lives, this is exactly why the vote in the Civil Liberties (LIBE) Committee on terrorist content is so important. In removing the vacuum in which these radicals operate, we can ensure safety for European legislators and citizens. All MEPs should be united in their call for a strike back against these terrorists, and in the removal of their propaganda.'”
