Description

In Germany, democratic institutions are losing trust and authoritarian and extremist groups are gaining support. This poses a lasting challenge to peaceful conflict resolution and democratic coexistence. Long-standing manifestations of extremism remain present. However, there is also an increasing emergence of complex ideologies, actor constellations, and activities that cannot be clearly classified into established categories and address diverse issues.
