subject

description

Right-wing extremism in Germany is hardly a new phenomenon, but it has been changing in recent years. Right-wing extremists are becoming morę aggressive and the number of violent crimes they commit is increasing. Right-wing extremists are predominantly against immigration to Germany and Islamization. They are demanding substantial changes in the asylum law and glorifying German national values. Formal and informal groups of right-wing extremists take advantage of the fears of Islamie terror- ism, and they support hostility towards immigrants - primarily Muslims. The stronghold of the right-wing extremism is in the Eastern States of the German Federal Republic. In the paper, the Author is ruminating on the question whether right-wing extremism poses a threat to the democratic order in Germany. A elear answer on the above-mention ques- tion could not be formulated. Right-wing extremism is undoubtedly both a significant problem and a challenge for the German security service, and the democratic order depends mainly on the attitudes of the majority of the German society and its political culture.
