- Outgoing Green Youth co-leader Jette Nietzard speculated about violent resistance in case of an AfD government involvement.
- While the Green party leadership firmly rejects violence, lower ranks sometimes show a softer or ambiguous stance toward politically motivated aggression.
- Some members of the Green Youth have demonstrated tolerance toward left-wing extremist protests involving violence, complicating political culture and security issues.
- Potential AfD participation in government by 2026 could trigger increased leftist violence, making clear condemnation from the parent party imperative.
