Political extremism in Germany has risen sharply in the past year, with far-right, far-left and Islamist extremist groups becoming more violent and brutal, the country’s domestic intelligence agency has said.
Presenting the new report, Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the findings showed that “extremist groups, whatever their orientation, are gaining ground in Germany.”
He added that security officials had “observed not just a rise in membership but also an increase in violence and brutality,” in a worrying trend for the country.
The most-widely publicized forms of violence were recorded by far-right groups, with 1,408 violent incidents recorded in 2015, a rise from 990 in the year before.
