New report, new trends: The Federal Agency for Sect Issues has published its analysis of the previous year - the results have already caused discussion in the relevant family committee. Which topics are particularly "alarming" and what else is in the report. 

The latest report from the Federal Agency for Sectarian Issues for the previous year recently ended up in the parliamentary Family Affairs Committee - where it provided material for discussion. The Greens are alarmed. "As a society, we need to offer counter-narratives and create services that combat loneliness and extremism and give people the skills to recognize fake news," says family and youth spokesperson Barbara Neßler. But what does the report say and how should the results be evaluated?
