The protection of the constitution in Baden-Württemberg is aimed at the protest movement of the crown. According to information from SPIEGEL, the Stuttgart State Office will now be observing the “lateral thinking 711” cluster and its offshoots in the southwest.
The step indicated itself. In November, the State Interior Minister, Thomas Strobl (CDU), warned the Interior Committee of the State Parliament against the growing influence of extremists in the ranks of the “lateral thinkers”.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is also examining a possible observation by “lateral thinkers.” Officials are alarmed by a mobilization by Corona protesters for a large-scale demonstration on New Year’s Eve in Berlin, which will also be massively publicized among Reich citizens and right-wing extremists.
Stuttgart’s “lateral thinking 711” is the seed of the now-active nationwide Corona protest movement. It was founded by information technology entrepreneur Michael Ballweg, who organized the first demonstrations against measures to combat the pandemic in April.
Time and again, he and his colleagues were accused of keeping very little distance from extremists and conspiracy theorists.
In the summer Ballweg convened a “constituent assembly” in Berlin to draft a new Basic Law.
Meeting with the “King of Germany”
The last time the security authorities were aware of it was at a meeting of the “lateral thinkers” with Peter Fitzek in Thuringia, which was said to have been attended by almost a hundred participants. The authorities consider that Fitzek is part of the Reich Citizens Movement, years ago he had proclaimed his own “Kingdom of Germany”.
The head of protection of the Thuringian constitution, Stephan Kramer, spoke in the RBB of a “solidarity between lateral thinkers, deniers of the pandemic of the crown and citizens of the Reich”.
In a statement, the “lateral thinking 711” confirmed the “working meeting” with Fitzek at the “Hacienda Mexicana” in Saalfeld. The group denied the allegations of extremism. “That someone is called a citizen of the Reich,” it said in the statement, was “irrelevant to us.”
The radicalization of the Corona protest movement will also be the subject of the interior ministers conference, which begins this Wednesday. In a picture of the situation for the federal-state meeting, there is talk of a possible “new form of extremism” that cannot be pigeonholed into the usual drawers.
