German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has warned of dangers to democracy in Germany amid rising domestic and external threats.

German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said on Tuesday that while Germany’s democracy was strong, it was coming under considerable pressure.

Among the threats she cited were far-right elements in German society and increasing espionage activities on the part of Russia and China.

Her comments came as Germany’s domestic intelligence agency BfV presented its report for 2023.

    The AfD is just an inevitable consequence of what happens when the general population keeps getting shafted to make the rich richer. Blaming China or Russia for the rise of Fascism is massive cope. This is 100% a consequence of Germany’s own policies.

    Germany did a Fascism thing 80 years ago. Did we blame China and Russia for that one too?

    And the biggest irony is that these extreme right wing parties always have clear links with israel. Yet you ignore the obvious link and blame China and Russia.

    The AfD is full of antisemites. Nonetheless, it fully supports Israel.
