A Koblenz court sentenced two members of the far-right 'United patriots' group, which is connected to the Reichsbürger movement, for their involvement in plans to attack Germany’s electricity grid and kidnap political figures. The movement, which eschews the legitimacy of the modern German state and seeks to revolutionize governance, gained traction during the pandemic. This case highlights the escalating real-world implications of far-right conspiratorial ideologies, as members plotted violence against government officials like Health Minister Karl Lauterbach.
The growing ideology of the Reichsbürger movement, especially during the pandemic, has led to acts of terrorism, including a plot to attack Germany’s electricity grid.
Several members of the 'United patriots' group were found guilty of plotting attacks against government officials and infrastructure, driven by an anti-democratic ideology.
