A whole three minutes, he then used to the dangers of the left and to the threat of Islamism. Especially the latter long years, had stood in the focus of the security authorities.
Now it’s Seehofer says about the approximately 22.300 offenses in the extreme right-wing Milieu in the past year, an increase of ten percent compared to 2018: “This area is the biggest threat to security in Germany. Nothing has changed, on the contrary. The number of offences, the number of members in this circle, and the readiness to use violence has continued to rise.” The extreme right are especially is almost always a: anti-Semites: “Over 90 per cent of the offences in connection with anti-Semitism are attributed to right-wing extremism.” A short Pause, and then: “This is a disgrace to our country.”
pandemic is for conspiracy theories
used Explicitly, the Minister warns, then in front of groups such as the rich citizens, which give the violence the edge with their crude ideologies-fired, and in the last few months, a completely new approach for your rejection of the rule of law would have found: “The use of the pandemic and the associated public measures for the dissemination of their conspiracy narratives.” Seehofer do not forget to mention the now officially defunct “wings” of the right-wing populists of the “Alternative for Germany” (AfD), the extremist group, therefore, the parliamentary leader in Thuringia, Björn Höcke. 2018 the AfD were wing and a youth organisation of the AfD in the protection of the Constitution report has not yet been mentioned, now Seehofer estimates that the number of followers of these groups to around 7000, a small proportion of the total extreme right-wing potential in Germany of more than 32,000 supporters. 13.000 of which are considered ready to use violence.
the AfD supporters are now included in the calculation, is extremists is the main explanation for the large increase in the total number of the right.

The violence of the right is so clear in the center, even if the actions are increased from the left extreme even by 40 percent, and in 2019, a total of 6400 offences accounted for. Seehofer has identified a change in the extreme left-wing forms of action: “To the point of demonstration-related violence actions are planned in the last few years, increasingly, secretly, sometimes by small groups committed acts of violence kicked. In particular, in the direct confrontation with the political opponents or representatives of the state, it is observed a constant decrease in the threshold to.”
Also, as before, around 650 of the Islamist threat remained a constant threat to potential. Once again Seehofer pointed out how important it was, that after long Hesitation, at the end of April, the Islamist Hezbollah has been banned in Germany: “We cannot accept that in our country organizations are active, the existence of Israel in question.”
