Protection of the constitution 2023: Experts warn of rising right-wing extremism risks

In today's press conference, the Saarland Ministry of the Interior will present the position of the constitutional protection for 2023 at 11.30 a.m. Interior Minister Reinhold Jost (SPD) and Ulrich Pohl, head of the Saarland constitutional protection, will be present. The experts expect that the position of the position will offer significant insights into the security situation, especially since the analyzes had shown in the previous year that right -wing extremism is one of the greatest threats to state order.

In the last management report for 2022, a total of 310 people were assigned to the area of right -wing extremism, of which around 20 were classified as violent. This number is alarming, especially since the right -wing extremist crimes in the region rose sharply: from 207 in the previous year to 274 in 2022. The 18 violent offenses were particularly worrying, including an attempted murder. This murder attack concerned a knife attack on a Syrian citizen in Neunkirchen.

right -wing extremism in focus

The increasing figures in the field of right -wing extremist crimes raise questions about the security and trust of citizens in the state institutions. Experts and authorities are concerned about the possible effects of these developments, since violence and extremism can endanger the cornerstones of democracy. Interior Minister Jost is aware of the challenges and will probably announce effort to combat these tendencies.

The preparations and analyzes that have been included in the management report reflect the efforts to gain a better understanding of the threat situation. A year ago, right -wing extremist groups enjoyed increasing encouragement, which is shown in the increased crime statistics. It will be interesting to hear what measures the government is planning in this context and what progress has been made since 2022.
