Security threat from far right ‘very high’ in Germany: interior minister
BERLIN, Feb 21, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – German interior minister Horst Seehofer
said Friday that the police presence would be increased across the country to
counter the “very high” security threat from the far-right, after a gunman
killed nine in a racist attack.
“The security threat from right-wing extremism, anti-semitism and racism
is very high,” Seehofer said at a press conference in Berlin, also announcing
an “increased police presence” at mosques, train stations, airports and
borders.
