Bremen invests 3 million euros in security against attacks!

Bremen, Deutschland - Bremen faces a decisive security policy measure. The city plans to buy vehicle barriers to prevent assassination by driving in crowds. An amount of three million euros is planned for this, which is a strategic answer to the current challenges of the security situation. As Buten un inland reports, Bremen is currently only renting these backup devices for special occasions such as the free market, the Christmas market or the Easter meadow, the annual rental costs amount to around 900,000 euros.

The spokesman for the interior department, René Möller, describes the security situation as "unchanged abstractly high for years". This assessment is underlined by a concern about the increase in extremism in Bremen, with the threat of rights, left and Islamist groups increasing alike. Interior Senator Ulrich Mäurer (SPD) emphasizes that the security situation is tense as it has been for many years, especially with regard to the radicalization of young people through social media. According to Welt , there have been right-wing extremist youth groups in the city for the first time.

The situation is additionally complicated by left -wing extremists and a persistent Islamist threat. These perpetrators often radicalize online and use simple weapons like knives. It is estimated that around 460 people have Salafist efforts and about 220 are active in the right -wing extremist scene. There are also about 650 people who belong to the PKK, and 400 who are active for the Turkish group "Gray Wolves". These developments are particularly worrying in view of international conflicts that continue to burden the local security situation.

Another critical point is the challenge for the authorities to identify Islamist perpetrators in good time. During this uncertain times, the Constitutional Protection Director Koehler emphasizes the progressive radicalization and the need for closer cooperations between the security authorities, politics and society to protect democracy.

prevention and radicalization

The Federal Ministry of the Interior has published recommendations for action that aimed to prevent Islamist radicalization. The recommendations are aimed at state and civil society actors and cover topics such as education, family and digital opportunities. These measures are intended to help recognize radicalization at an early stage and to build suitable structures in the long term. The cooperation between different actors in civil society is also of central importance to fight these challenges.
