Schwerin (dpa/mv) - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Minister of the Interior Christian level (SPD) expects more demonstrations on the topics of energy, inflation and a possibly imminent economic crisis in autumn. A critical examination of political issues in the context of demonstrations is democratically absolutely legitimate and also expressly desired as democratic participation, said the minister on Wednesday in Schwerin at the presentation of the 2021 report for the protection of the constitution. "But we see that extremists are very consciously preparing for how you can make use of the expected protests."
With such demonstrations, extremists sought to connect with the broader spectrum of society. However, their goal is a drastic change in society and the abolition of democracy, the minister warned. He appealed to people to take a close look at demonstrations to see who else is marching and to clearly distance themselves from extremists.
