"Germany Takes Action Against Far-Right Threat"

TL;DR Summary
The German government has unveiled a package of legal measures to combat right-wing extremism following mass demonstrations against the far-right. The 13-point plan includes freezing bank accounts, cutting funding for extremists, tightening gun laws, and dismissing state employees found guilty of extremism. With around 20,000 far-right crimes and attacks registered annually, the government aims to break up right-wing extremist networks and prevent their growth.
