A recent report by Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the BfV, highlights a notable increase in potential extremists, particularly among right-wing groups. The report indicates a 23% rise in those identified with right-wing extremist potential. The surge coincides with the increase in membership of the far-right AfD party, which has garnered significant electoral support. While there is also a slight rise in Islamist and leftist extremism, the Interior Minister has voiced opposition to banning the AfD, suggesting a need to directly address the socio-political issues that fuel its popularity.
In 2024, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution reported a significant rise in extremists, with a 23% increase in right-wing extremist potential.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt opposes banning the far-right AfD, emphasizing the need to address the issues it exploits to gain support.
