German intelligence report on domestic extremism for 2025

The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) released its 2025 annual report, identifying the highest-ever levels of extremist activity in the country. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt stated that right-wing extremism remains the primary threat to the democratic order. The number of individuals identified with right-wing extremist tendencies rose to 58,700 in 2025, up from 50,250 in 2024, with 15,600 classified as prone to violence. Violent acts by right-wing elements increased by 8.9% compared to the previous year. The Austrian broadcaster AUF1 has been reclassified as a confirmed right-wing extremist organization, while membership in the political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) reached 70,000. Beyond right-wing activity, the report noted rising youth political violence, persistent risks from espionage and sabotage, and a high threat of Islamist terrorism. No new organizations were added to the monitoring list beyond existing classifications.
