In view of the arrest of five suspected members of a right-wing terrorist group, extremism researcher Matthias Quent once again sees a militant mass movement among young people with links to National Socialism. The professor of sociology at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences told the German press agency Deutsche Presse-Agentur that police crime statistics are currently at an all-time high for right-wing motivated violence.
In the past two years in particular, this trend has become increasingly visible. "Terrorist structures and groups that condone and prepare violence have emerged on social networks."
