BERLIN

Supporters of the YPG/SDF terror group stormed on Monday the headquarters of Germany's ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party in Stuttgart, drawing sharp condemnation from party officials.

Several masked activists forcibly entered the building and aggressively confronted employees, chanting slogans against Chancellor Friedrich Merz's coalition government, which they protested for not intervening to stop Syrian military operations against the terror group.

Police briefly detained six suspects, aged 18-33, and opened an investigation into trespassing charges.

CDU Baden-Wurttemberg's Secretary General Tobias Vogt told local media that the demonstrators aggressively confronted employees and shouted slogans in their faces with a megaphone. One staff member was slightly injured during the scuffle.

"With the storming of our headquarters and the attack on our employees, a red line has been crossed," Vogt said. "We stand without restriction for the right to demonstrate and free expression of opinion. Today's events have nothing to do with legitimate forms of protest, but represent an attack on the basic values of our coexistence."

Supporters of the YPG/SDF terror group have organized numerous protests and disruptive actions across Germany recently, demonstrating against Syrian government military operations that targeted the group in northeastern Syria.

The operations began after the YPG/SDF failed to comply with a ceasefire agreement. The agreement required the group to withdraw east of the Euphrates River and transfer administrative control of key provinces to Damascus.

German authorities estimate that the YPG and its parent organization, the PKK terror group, have more than 15,000 active followers in the country and are pursuing extensive propaganda activities among the Kurdish immigrant population.

The PKK is classified as an ethno-nationalist and separatist terrorist organization by the EU's law enforcement agency, Europol, and has been banned in Germany since 1993.
