Overview
- Holger Münch cautions that AfD participation in a state cabinet could grant access to protected information and strain interagency cooperation.
- The BKA does not track employees’ party memberships because disclosure is not required, leaving the agency unaware of how many staff belong to the AfD.
- Münch says a judicial confirmation of the AfD as a proven right‑wing extremist organization would have consequences for BKA security checks and internal procedures.
- He rejects deleting existing records but urges a rethink of how openly information is shared across authorities if the party enters government.
- Münch reports more suspected Russian‑linked sabotage, espionage and hacktivist activity, notes a low four‑digit number of drone sightings without proof of state‑directed flights, and calls for improved data collection and a Bundespolizei drone‑defence center as 2026 state votes loom and the Munich Security Conference plans to include the AfD.
