Haldenwang resigns as a BFV president-the focus of the Bundestag candidate!

Berlin, Deutschland - Berlin - a bang in the German security apparatus! Thomas Haldenwang, the President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV), is no longer in office! Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) informed the interior committee on Wednesday that Haldenwang lies down his official business for the German Bundestag due to his announced candidacy. A dramatic step that could turn the security situation upside down in Germany!

The management of the domestic secret service is now in the hands of Haldenwang's both Vice President, Sinan Selen and Silke Willems. A spokesman emphasized that the office of BFV president must be clearly separated from a political candidacy. Haldenwang, which has been in office since 2018, was praised for his careful work, especially in times of increased threats from Islamist terrorism and extremism. But now the question arises: Who will be his successor? Faeser did not provide any information on this, which only increases the uncertainty in the security authority!

Haldenwang's surprising turn

The news came after Haldenwang announced its plans for the CDU candidacy at the beginning of the week. A step that could not only influence his career, but also the stability of the BFV. The upcoming new elections throw a shadow on the decision to name a new president. Haldenwang, who was appointed boss after the resignation of Hans-Georg Maassen, leaves a significant gap in the German security architecture. What does this mean for the future of the protection of the constitution? The coming weeks will be decisive!
