Anti-lockdown radicals within the so-called Querdenken (Lateral Thinking) movement are to be monitored by the Federal German Domestic Intelligence Services, the Interior Ministry said in Berlin on Wednesday.
The decision allows the Agency for the Protection of the Constitution, as the domestic intelligence agency is known to collect information on persons identified as posing a risk.
The agency’s branch in the south-western state of Baden-Wuerttemberg has been monitoring Querdenken activists since December, and federal Interior Minister Horst Seehofer indicated earlier in April that he anticipated the decision by the federal agency.
