Germany Under Threat From Extremists, Foreign Powers: Security Service
Germany’s domestic security agency said Russia is using saboteurs and other states are driving espionage, while right-wing extremism remains a larger threat than far-left violence.
- In Berlin, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt presented the BfV annual report, warning that Germany faces mounting threats from Foreign powers and polarized domestic groups, including Nazis and Right-wing extremists.
- Russia remains the greatest external threat, BfV head Sinan Selen said, noting that Moscow employs a full spectrum of hybrid tools to carry out sabotage, illicit interference, and disinformation operations across Europe.
- Right-Wing extremist groups remain a larger threat, the report states, with focus on 'xenophobic' violent crime including anti-Muslim and Anti-Semitism targeting.
- State actors, particularly Iran and other organizations, target Jewish and Israeli individuals using 'methods akin to state terrorism, such as attacks, abductions or killings' to pursue Critics.
- Dobrindt urged 'very quick' government action on proposals to grant Germany's intelligence agencies expanded powers and lift strict limits on covert operations.
