After the attack on the Berlin Christmas market, the threat situation is now no longer abstract, says the government in Stuttgart: That is why the security authorities should be made more available.

 

The green-black state government is setting up the security authorities to counter terrorism technically. Minister President Winfried Kretschmann (Greens) and Interior Minister Thomas Strobl (CDU) announced on Tuesday in Stuttgart various measures. The country wants, for example, to use the data retention, for which there is already a legal basis in the federal government. Furthermore, one wants to have access to the connection data, which must be stored for a period of up to ten weeks.

 

In addition, the so-called source TKÜ is introduced, ie, the monitoring of communication via the Internet before the encryption. Also, the so-called online search is to be introduced, so that investigators have hidden access to hard disks of foreign computers. The measures are already anchored in the green-black coalition agreement, but in some cases only as test contracts.

Law changes

The Ministry of the Interior is now preparing the corresponding amendments to the police law and the Constitutional Protection Act. This is followed by concrete consultations in the coalition. Minister of the Interior Strobl, however, emphasized that the state government was very much united in questions of internal security. "Germany is the focus of Islamic terror," he said. The "abstract threat situation" had become concrete and harsh reality through the attack on the Berlin Christmas market. Twelve people had died during the attack. (Dpa) / (mho)
