NRW Interior Minister Herbert Reul (CDU) speaks of “wolves in sheep’s clothing”. – – – Dhe Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) observes the current protests against state corona measures with concern: “We see a trend that extremists, especially right-wing extremists, are exploiting the demonstration,” said President Thomas Haldenwang to WELT AM SONNTAG. What started in internet echo chambers with propaganda, conspiracy theories and fake news is now being carried into the real world. Right-wing extremists sought connection to bourgeois spectra and called on supporters to actively participate in the protests, said Haldenwang. “There is a risk that right-wing extremists will use their enemy images and state-destroying goals to lead the Corona demonstrations, which are currently being carried out by citizens who are in line with the constitution.” There is indeed no shoulder to shoulder of the heterogeneous protest audience. “However, we are concerned that extremists are using the current situation as much as in the so-called refugee crisis.” The “trend to de-bordering” that has been observed since the protests against migration policy could continue and “take on an even larger dimension”.
