A staggering 58,000 far-right extremists are now active across Germany, according to a classified intelligence report obtained by this newsroom. The document, compiled by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), paints a grim picture of a radicalised underground that has grown in both size and violence over the past year. Sources confirm that of these individuals, approximately 14,000 are considered 'violence-oriented' and 'ready to use weapons'.
The figures represent a 20 per cent increase from 2023, a surge that analysts attribute to economic instability, migration fears and the echo chambers of encrypted messaging apps. The report warns that these cells are not merely ideological but operationally linked to international networks, with training camps reported in eastern states. One case file details a group in Saxony that stockpiled explosives and planned attacks on refugee shelters.
The intelligence community is now under pressure to justify why it took so long to compile this data. The interior ministry, locked in a war of words with state governments over resource allocation, denies any cover-up. But the numbers do not lie.
When asked for comment, a BfV spokesperson said: 'We are monitoring the situation closely, but our resources are stretched thin.' The public should be very worried. The money trail, as always, leads to shadowy donations from wealthy sympathisers, some allegedly connected to old Stasi-era networks.
This is a crisis that has been brewing for years, and now it is out in the open.
