The Left and Greens in the Saxon state parliament immediately welcomed the ban on the "Reichsbürger" group "Kingdom of Germany". Green Party interior politician Valentin Lippmann spoke of a "long overdue decision" and described the group as a "dangerous collection of weapons fanatics and democracy despisers". It had established a dubious parallel society, particularly in Saxony.
"Reichsbürger" lose important point of contact
"The ban on the association means that the constantly increasing number of "Reichsbürger" will be deprived of at least one important point of contact. The next step now is to fully expose the group's financing methods," emphasized Lippmann. His party had long pointed out that the self-proclaimed King Peter Fitzek was financing his "kingdom" through more than dubious banking transactions. Fitzek was arrested in Halsbrücke near Freiberg in the morning.
