The former president of Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), which serves as the country’s domestic intelligence agency, has called for the far-left, eco-activist group Last Generation to be treated as a threat to the country’s free and democratic order.
In a commentary piece penned for Junge Freiheit, former BfV chief Hans-Georg Maasen, insisted that—in light of the mounting number of criminal cases pending against members of the group for property damage, blocking road traffic, and financing a criminal enterprise—not only is it long overdue that the Last Generation be classified as a criminal organization but that the group ought to be classified as a threat to democracy.
