The president of Germany’s parliament has promised a comprehensive security review after it was claimed more than 100 right-wing extremists had passes to the building.
An investigation by Bavarian public radio (BR) revealed that more than a fifth of the parliamentary employees of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party had either been publicly named as extremists by intelligence services or were members of designated extremist organisations.
B?rbel Bas, Bundestag president, promised a wide-ranging response to the findings, which have raised concerns over the security of German institutions and the country’s ability to withstand threats to democracy.
