Faeser wants to shed light on right-wing extremist financial flows

Anyone who donates money to right-wing extremist organizations should not go unnoticed. Federal Interior Minister Faeser announced this. Financial connections should be discovered more quickly in the future.

Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wants to focus more on financial flows in the fight against right-wing extremism. “It is a high priority for us to illuminate and uncover the personal and financial connections in right-wing extremist networks,” said the SPD politician to the Editorial Network Germany (RND). According to Faeser, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has significantly expanded its resources and capabilities for financial investigations over the past year and a half.

Keep an eye on donations

“We are looking closely at which circles are at work here: from the ‘Identitarian Movement’ to the parties and associations on the right-wing fringe – and to entrepreneurs or private individuals who support them with their money,” said the minister. “No one who donates to right-wing extremist organizations should rely on remaining undetected.”

“Attack on human dignity”

With a view to a meeting of radical right-wingers in Potsdam, Faeser said: “The fact that right-wing extremist networks want to expel people en masse from Germany because of their ethnic origin is an attack on human dignity and thus on the foundations of our society. This was about racist deportation fantasies, but At the same time, it’s also about collecting money to carry on the inhumane ideologies behind it.”
