Dresden (dpa / sn) – The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Saxony registers a radicalization in protest movements. That also applies to the climate movement, which is more dominated by the left, said head of the authorities Dirk-Martin Christian of the German Press Agency. “We have noticed a certain lack of distance from left-wing extremist positions among climate activists. There are forms of action, including serious crimes, which parts of the climate movement either do not reject or only half-heartedly reject.”
“Both the Corona protests and the anti-refugee protests have led to a dissolution of boundaries in mainstream society. Right-wing extremists propagate issues and thus find a connection with the middle classes,” said Christian. People from the middle of society would not contradict extremist positions and would not mind demonstrating alongside right-wing extremists. Right-wing extremism remains the greatest threat to democracy in Saxony.
