The Bavarian Verfassungsschutz (secret service, Office for the Protection of the Constitution) alongside the Bavarian Interior Minister released the half-year report detailing threats to the state, which continue to be elements that are trying to delegitimize the German state, including Reichsbuerger (Sovereign Citizens) and was put on full display last year as a domestic terrorism plot was stopped by authorities that was allegedly in the works by Prinz Reuss, an AfD politicians, and numerous others in the Reichsbuerger, wellness, and conspiracy theorist spectrum. The Russian war of aggression in Ukraine continues to present security threats to the German state, including cyberspionage and cyberattacks. Dr. Koerner also mentioned a new podcast called â€oeAbeghoertâ€� (AbgehÃ¶rt) from the Verfassungsschutz.
