According to the Constitutional Protection in Saxony-Anhalt, the left-extremist scene in the state is growing. In total, the Constitutional Protection assigned 680 persons to the left-extremist scene in the past year, the Interior Ministry in Magdeburg announced.

This is an increase of 13% compared to the year 2022. The growth can be attributed to a relatively dynamic development within the left-extremist spectrum, which is not violence-oriented.
