In a statement, the German federal prosecutor's office said an estimated 50 people were suspected to have been part of the group called Reich Citizens movement, founded no later than November 2021, who were plotting to overthrow the government and replace it with their own order.

"The accused are united by a deep rejection of state institutions and the free democratic basic order of the Federal Republic of Germany, which over time has led to their decision to participate in their violent elimination and to engage in concrete preparatory actions for this purpose," the statement said.

"The members of the group follow a conglomerate of conspiracy myths consisting of narratives of the so-called Reichsbürger as well as QAnon ideology."

Excerpt from Lewis’s article above,

Experts linked Germany's increasingly frequent violent right-wing attacks with the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which in 2017 became the first far-right party to win seats in Germany's parliament in nearly 60 years.

Far right movement have increased considerable across Europe. This incident in Germany is merely the tip of an iceberg. What they intent to do to overthrow the democratically elected government is nothing more than a coup. They have ties to extremist groups similar to Oat Keepers, Proud Boys, Three Percenters and others in U.S.
