Head of German secret service advised far-right Alternative for Germany - World Socialist Web Site

Hans-Georg Maaßen, the president of Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), met with former Alternative for Germany (AfD) leader Frauke Petry several times in 2015, advising her how to avoid nationwide surveillance of the AfD by the German secret service and having her party designated as "right-wing extremist."
This was revealed in a recently published book, Inside AfD, by AfD dropout Franziska Schreiber. The 28-year-old author was a close colleague of Petry's and was chairperson of the AfD youth organization Junge Alternative in Saxony.

Re: Nice (none / 0)

haven't we known this for over a decade? I'm sure there was a case where german right wing assassins were killing union organisers and the secret services covered up for them.

Not union organisers I think. They killed quite a number of people, mostly Turkish immigrants. And all related documents were shredded over a weekend so there is little chance we ever get to know about the extant of Spook involvement.
