"right-wing extremists, specifically in the villages that they claim to want to do something for the home. So try to win acceptance and influence,“ says Brandenburg's Minister of the interior, Michael Stübgen (CDU) of the F. A. Z. In the right-wing extremists acquired real estate would sometimes fight sports centres, says the Saxon protection of the Constitution boss.

Not always successful to get timely information about planned purchases, says Stübgen. "But it is also the object of the society, the economy, associations and credit institutions, to have a close look at the buyers of real estate. It may not look that way any longer.“ According to the Saxon Constitution protection, the current laws are not enough to effectively counter the extreme Right and their purchases to proceed, as these act mostly as individuals and not in established structures. "The security authorities can use the extremism of the 21st century. Century, not with laws of the 20. Century combat. The law May, and the technical ability must keep pace with the General development.“
