In December 2022, authorities foiled a coup by the so-called Reichsburger who were planning to overthrow the government. A report has now found the number of right-wing extremists in Germany had risen to 38,800 in 2022 from 33,900 the previous year.
"The reality shows that the Reichsburger ideology is ultra-nationalist, antisemitic and driven by far-right conspiracy myths - and that it frequently results in violence, shootouts with authorities, or recently, plots to kidnap ministers or storm the Bundestag."The far-right party"Alternative for Germany" has 78 seats in parliament and is soaring in popularity.
It found 19.5% of respondents support the party and that 28.5% of Germans could imagine voting for them. "The crises of previous years, from the COVID pandemic to Russia's war in Ukraine and the ensuing energy crises, have given the AfD new opportunities to play on fear and spread hate."At a rally in Erfurt, Bjorn Hocke, the AfD's regional leader in Thuringia and influential figure on the party's hard right disagrees.
