Germany
Germany tracks right-wing extremism rigorously, but faces a resurgent nationalist movement, a stark East-West political divide, and rising antisemitic and anti-migrant violence.
Who gets targeted here
Antisemitism
Antisemitic incidents have reached record highs, driven by a combination of domestic far-right extremism, conspiracy networks (Reichsbürger), and spillover from Middle East conflicts.
Where this comes from
- Department for Research and Information on Antisemitism (RIAS) (2024)
Political polarization
The political divide between former East and West Germany remains stark. The East has seen a massive surge in far-right populist support, driven by economic grievance and anti-establishment anger.
Where this comes from
- Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) (2023)
Anti-migrant bias
Violence against asylum seekers and attacks on refugee accommodations remain a persistent threat, organized heavily through digital far-right networks.
