The monitoring will focus on members of Germany’s "Querdenker" (Lateral Thinkers) movement, which has emerged as the loudest voice against coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...curbs and an active promoter of conspiracy theories that deny basic facts about the pandemic.
Some protest organizers "have clearly demonstrated that their agenda goes beyond simply mobilizing protests against the government’s corona measures," a ministry statement says.
Their main aim appears to be to "permanently undermine trust in state institutions and their representatives," it adds.
They are also suspected of seeking links with right-wing holy warriors such as "Reichsbuerger" (Citizens of the Reich) who question the legitimacy of the modern Federal Republic of Germany, and of spreading antisemitic messages and QAnon myths, the ministry says.
The holy warriors encourage supporters to ignore official orders and challenge the state monopoly on the use of force, it adds.
