German right-wing extremists have put thousands of people on "enemy lists" in recent years. Since 2011, the security authorities have found in raids and arrests in the right-wing scene again and again letters on which more than 25,000 people were listed with names, phone numbers and address as "enemies".
This reports the editorial network Germany (RND). It refers to a response from the Federal Government to a request from the Left Group in the Bundestag.
The corresponding documents or records are therefore, inter alia, from the investigation of the right-wing terrorist "National Socialist underground" (NSU) until the end of 2011 and from the investigation of the terrorist suspected German soldier Franco A. and two accomplices. In addition, numerous relevant data were seized in the investigation of members of the right-wing prepper group "Nordkreuz" last year.
According to the report, the federal authorities only informed three people that they were on the list and then put them under witness protection. This is also evident from the answer to the small request. For everything else, the countries were responsible, they said.

Martina Renner, right-wing extremism expert of the Left Group, criticized the behavior of the Federal Government. The right-wing terrorist dangers would be ignored: "Otherwise it is not to explain that the Federal Criminal Investigation Office of tens of thousands of affected people not even a hand fully informed and otherwise silent," said Renner the RND.
The extreme right-wing scene in Germany has grown recently. This is what the constitution protection report 2017 showed. But the danger of left-wing extremists and Islamist terror has also increased in the past year.
