Overview

• The 2024 report presented by Interior Minister Reinhold Jost and agency chief Ulrich Pohl finds the right‑wing scene growing to about 370 people from roughly 340, with about 10% deemed violence‑oriented, as Reichsbürger numbers rise from about 220 to 280.
• Investigators describe a shift toward fluid, action‑oriented mobilization, noting an upswing for the micro‑party Der III. Weg and social media posts in which the AfD in Saarland aligned with völkisch‑national currents.
• Officials say online groups in the state coordinate real‑world actions and initiate protests against perceived culprits, with targets including Muslims and queer people at events such as Christopher Street Day.
• Jost warns of a potential radicalization spiral with growing violence‑orientation on the right and left, even as left‑wing extremist structures remained broadly unchanged at about 250 people year over year.
• As part of a 5‑point security plan, the Verfassungsschutz added 10 positions to roughly 100 specialists, expanding IT capacity for early warning and partnering in the PuDiS prevention and deradicalization network; the agency also reports about 430 Islamist adherents with risk centered on IS‑inspired lone actors or small cells.
