Right-wing extremists remain the biggest challenge for the security authorities in Saxony. This is according to the report on the protection of the constitution for 2025, which Saxony's Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) and the President of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Dirk-Martin Christian, presented in Dresden. "The diverse international conflicts are also strengthening extremism in Saxony in all phenomenon areas," said the Minister of the Interior.
According to the report, around 6,550 people could potentially be assigned to the right-wing extremist scene in the Free State in 2025. In the previous year, the "person potential", as the report puts it, was still around 6,000. The report states that right-wing extremist ideas have now moved far into the center of society.
