(European Conservative) The terror threat from Islamic extremists remains high in Germany, according to the country’s Federal Ministry of the Interior. Department officials said in a press release this week that they must continue to approach this issue with the “greatest vigilance.”
This followed the publication of a report by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), which found there were more extremist crimes across the board in 2022 than ever before. The figure stood at 35,452, just shy of 2,000 more acts than the year before.
Right-wing extremists, it said, pose the greatest threat in Germany, with around 38,800 individuals labelled as such. The report found there are also 36,500 left-wing extremists in the country and 27,480 Islamist extremists.
