Wiesbaden (dpa/lhe) – The Hessian left-wing faction calls for the establishment of a nationwide archive on the right-wing extremist terrorist cell NSU for more victim justice. “It is urgently necessary to make the files of the secret services that are still available, which can contribute to the investigation of the NSU complex, accessible to the public as documents of contemporary history in an archive in order to enable the transparent and comprehensive investigation that has been promised for more than ten years “, explained the interior expert Torsten Felstehausen on Monday in Wiesbaden.
The Hessian state government must finally do its part in clarifying the situation and disclose the entire report by the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution on the “National Socialist Underground” (NSU), which has been classified as secret, without redacting it, warned the parliamentary manager of the left-wing faction. This is also demanded by a petition with over 130,000 signatures.
This demand for the release of the NSU files is mainly about two reports from the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution from the years 2013 and 2014. According to earlier information, the initiators of the petition are hoping for information about the murders of the “National Socialist underground” and possible connections that has not yet been published on the murder of Kassel’s district president Walter Lübcke.
The Left MP once again expressly welcomed the publication of suspected secret files by the Hessian Office for the Protection of the Constitution on the NSU on the “Ask the State” platform and on Jan Böhmermann’s “ZDF Magazin Royale”: “Jan Böhmermann, his team and “Ask the State” have worked with the publication contributed more to transparency in the fight against the right and to the protection of the Basic Law than all state offices for the protection of the constitution together.”
According to the cover sheet, the document, which has been available since Friday, is a final report on the review of files in the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Hesse in 2012. The report is dated November 20, 2014. The state office wanted to comment on the publication on Monday.
