Figures from the annual report on the protection of Germany's democratic constitution, put together by the intelligence services to monitor anti-constitutional activities, suggest there were 24,100 right-wing extremists in the country in 2018, up slightly from 24,000 in 2017.
Of those designated by the report as right-wing extremists, around 12,700 people are classified as "violence-oriented." The report is due to be presented this coming Thursday.
Right-wing extremism also fuels anti-semitic violence, the report's authors conclude, highlighting an "increase in sedition with anti-Semitic motives."
