Schwerin (dpa / mv) - The commission of experts for the processing of incidents in the constitutional protection of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania met for the first time in Schwerin on Tuesday.
The commission headed by the Head of the Hamburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Torsten Voss, was appointed by Interior Minister Torsten Renz (CDU) a week ago.
You have four experts.
In addition to Voss, these are the Vice President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Sinan Selen, the former Inspector of the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania State Police, Rudolf Springstein, and the former President of the Bremen Higher Administrative Court, Ilsemarie Meyer.
According to Renz, the commission is to examine several aspects of the protection of the constitution in MV.
He mentioned the structure of the department, its processes, the cooperation with other security agencies, the reports to the head of the ministry and the control by parliament.
The reason for the establishment of the commission are two recent incidents, as Renz said.
After the attack on Breitscheidplatz in Berlin at the end of 2016, no information was passed on to the responsible federal authorities.
In addition, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution kept a shotgun and a decorative weapon for years, which is not common.
The head of the Ministry had not been informed of either.
Interior Minister Renz had put the head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Reinhard Müller, into temporary retirement last Wednesday.
