Amenințarea Rusiei lui Putin determină Germania să acorde serviciilor secrete noi competențe majore

The German government has proposed a significant reform of its intelligence services, granting them expanded operational powers in response to increasing threats, particularly from Russia. This reform, which aims to transform the BND and BfV into more proactive agencies, is set to take effect next year pending parliamentary approval. New capabilities include cyber operations and the ability to neutralize threats abroad, although the use of violence against individuals remains prohibited. Critics express concerns over potential violations of civil liberties and privacy rights, fearing a return to secret police practices.
