After the large-scale raid on a "Reichsbürger" network, Interior Minister Nancy Faeser wants to continue the "tough approach against enemies of the state". The SPD politician told the "Welt am Sonntag" that she was sure: "We will find more."

Faeser added: "The fact that there are now parallel societies, even in supposedly bourgeois, prosperous milieus, with people who have become radicalized in their contempt for our democracy, who cling to conspiracy ideologies and fantasies of subversion and do not shy away from violence - we know that, and we have that we keep a very close eye on it."

On Wednesday last week, the federal prosecutor's office had 25 suspected "Reich citizens" arrested. She accuses 22 of them of being a member of a terrorist organization that wanted to overthrow the political system. According to reports, the conspirators wanted to form 286 "homeland security companies" that would also carry out arrests and executions after a coup.

Faeser again campaigned for a tightening of gun laws. "We have to take all the consequences out of extremists' weapons," she told the newspaper. If someone becomes conspicuous - such as the Hanau assassin before the crime - it must be checked whether the person has a weapon. And people with a gun license would have to be checked regularly.
