"The AfD’s woes – also including spying claims against a Krah aide and a police raid on number-two candidate Petr Bystron – mean its campaign is 'pretty much collapsing', said Hans-Jakob Schindler of the Counter Extremism Project.

The usual far-right strategy is to 'point out the inefficiencies of the system, link that to what they call an uncontrolled immigration problem, and essentially undermine trust in the established institutions', he told The National."

CEP Senior Director Dr. Hans-Jakob Schindler and CEP Senior Research Analyst Sofia Koller interviewed: "With the destruction of the "IS Caliphate" in 2017, one danger seemed to have been averted. But the terrorist organization's attacks continue. This is demonstrated by the attack on a concert hall near Moscow. The money that "IS" needs for this also comes from Germany."

"It is no coincidence that Daniela Klette was able to stay hidden in Kreuzberg for so long, says terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) to IPPEN.MEDIA. “There is a large and very active left-wing extremist scene in Berlin. The RAF men are still heroes for many in this milieu. For the new generation of left-wing extremists, these are grandmas and grandpas who are revered.”"

"The move comes amid a rising tide of extremism in Germany, with the Counter Extremism Project highlighting the increasing menace of male supremacist extremism. Such groups have been linked to past attacks, and their potential for future violence against democratic institutions remains a significant concern for German intelligence agencies."

"The fact that Daniela Klette was able to stay hidden in Kreuzberg for so long is no coincidence, says terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) to IPPEN.MEDIA.

“There is a large and very active left-wing extremist scene in Berlin.

Many people in this milieu still consider the RAF men to be heroes.

For the new generation of left-wing extremists, these are grandmas and grandpas who are revered.”

With such a well-connected support scene behind them, it was easier to go into hiding: “The trio didn’t have to rent an apartment and were also supported financially,” explains Schindler."
