UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of right-wing terror worldwide in connection with coup plans by so-called Reich citizens in Germany.
“It has been shown that the greatest terrorist threat in Western countries today comes from the far right, from neo-Nazis and those who believe in white supremacy,” Guterres said in New York on Monday. Therefore, any form of neo-Nazism, anti-Semitism and hatred of Muslims must be clearly and resolutely opposed. The events in Germany are just one example of the threat to democratic societies around the world.
There were also arrests in Austria
“Reich citizens” are people who do not recognize the Federal Republic and its democratic structures. The federal prosecutor’s office had 25 suspects arrested last Wednesday. She accuses 22 of them of being members of a terrorist organization that wanted to overthrow the political system. According to reports, the conspirators wanted to create 286 “homeland security companies” that would also carry out arrests and executions after a coup. During the big raid there were also arrests in Austria.
The German interior minister wants to tighten gun laws
After the large-scale police operation last week, the German gun law is now the focus of attention. The German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) wants to tighten it up, the FDP steps on the brakes and refers to previous tightening. If you want to own a weapon, you must meet certain requirements. This includes reaching the age of 18, “firearms legal reliability” and personal suitability as well as proof of firearms legal expertise.
Faeser is planning a change in the law whereby semi-automatic weapons can no longer be privately owned. The aim of their initiative is also to get a comparison between the police and gun control authorities on any movements. German Justice Minister Marco Buschmann (FDP) pointed out that strict gun laws already apply in Germany. The priority now must be to better enforce applicable law
