Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt and the head of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Selen, presented the agency’s annual report for 2025 in Berlin. According to the report, the number of people willing to commit violence for political or religious motives has increased compared to the previous year. The authorities did not initially provide specific figures.
The report serves as a key assessment of the threat posed by extremism in Germany. It covers left-wing, right-wing, Islamist, and foreign extremist movements. The agency has been warning for years about growing radicalization in parts of society.
The report’s release comes in the wake of several attacks and violent acts in recent months that have put pressure on security agencies. Dobrindt emphasized the need for consistent monitoring and prosecution of extremist structures.
