What role did the Deutsche Bahn play in Colorido's eviction, and what are the underlying reasons behind their decision, beyond the stated reasons?

Colorido's eviction follows a pattern of challenges faced by anti-fascist organizations in Plauen, a city with a significant far-right presence, including a local branch of the 'Third Way' neo-Nazi party and a strong showing by the AfD. The DB's actions are criticized for undermining community engagement and democratic values. The lack of support from regional politics, despite Colorido receiving national awards, highlights this issue.
