Eichwede questions networks Right-wing threats and MAD

Oct 5

Eichwede argues that democracy and fundamental rights remain the benchmark even when extremist views spread, citing remigration organizing and reported Hitler salutes in schools. Selen describes five interconnected New Right pillars—propaganda, pre-political organizations, party activity, youth groups and an intellectual veneer—and urges exposing networks, funders and the path from words to violence. He says Generation Deutschland has not softened the relevant assessment. Asked about organized crime, he distinguishes right-wing links to bikers, combat sports and regional criminals from more systematic use in Islamist or state-directed structures. Rosenberg then explains Bundeswehr counter-extremism removals and prevention, reporting 13 people classified as extremists and 28 lacking constitutional loyalty in the previous reporting period, and more than 200 prevention talks reaching about 15,000 people at 500 offices. She explicitly says those figures do not yet represent the new military-service intake and identifies no clear age pattern; higher case counts also reflect awareness and reporting.

At the hearing Rosenberg says MAD extremism investigations have risen, mainly on the right, because radicalization is accelerating and reporting is more vigilant. She argues for removing extremists and personnel lacking constitutional loyalty and for earlier screening of guests at protected army events. In the later statistics answer she reports 13 classified extremists and 28 people lacking constitutional loyalty in the previous reporting period and describes extensive prevention training. She explicitly says those figures do not yet represent the new military-service intake and identifies no clear age pattern. Suspicion, established classification and increased reporting remain distinct.
