German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has warned of dangers to democracy in Germany amid rising domestic and external threats.

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Tuesday that while Germany's democracy was strong, it was coming under considerable pressure.

Among the threats she cited were far-right elements in German society and increasing espionage activities on the part of Russia and China.

Her comments came as Germany's domestic intelligence agency BfV presented its report for 2023.

  • far-right elements in German society and increasing espionage activities on the part of Russia and China.

    We've seen this recipe before, haven't we?

    It's noteworthy that local right-wing extremism garners Russian and Chinese support.

    • You mean the commenters that keep blaming Russia and China for a countries population getting shafted by center-right politicians?

      It must be the fault of Russia and China that the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. I wonder why Russia and China don't target countries with good social security nets with those nefarious right winger campaigns.

      • What the fuck are you on about. There is evidence that the right-wing party AfD in Germany has financial support from China and other various support from Russia, as well as ties to at least Russia.

        This is not a "yeah right", their political proximity is very much on full display, even just listening to their speeches.
