Interior Minister Strobl informs the interior committee about lateral thinkers

The deputy prime minister and Interior Minister Thomas Strobl would like to inform the interior committee of the state parliament in November about the lateral thinkers in Baden-Württemberg.

Interior Minister Thomas Stro> explained:

"The security authorities have the lateral thinkers and the associated demonstrations on their radar. Here a poisonous mix of imperial citizens, self -administrators, right -wing extremists and conspiracy theorists who infiltrate and instrumentalize the demonstrators. I would therefore like to inform the parliamentary interior committee about this topic.

Both among the organizers of the lateral thinking events in Baden-Württemberg and in the immediate vicinity of the initiative, there are people who are known to the protection of the constitution as extremists. Practically since the beginning of coronaemic, it has been observed that right -wing extremists as well as imperial citizens and self -administrators are trying to influence the demonstration against the coronabe cuts. Supporters of various conspiracy myths such as Qanon also regularly take part in these demonstrations. It is mainly you that mix extremist and ideological conspiracy content with criticism of state measures against coronaemy. Against this background, the Office for the protection of the constitution continuously analyzes developments.

One thing is very clear: The fundamental right to freedom of assembly is an important asset of our constitution, which we protect under the rule of law. Demonstrating is a fundamental right. Demonstrations must of course be peaceful: the right to demonstrate is not a license for violations of the law, crimes or even violence. ""
