In an interview with Ottolina TV, Claudio Celani suggested that the planned reform of the intelligence agencies pushed by German Interior minister Alexander Dobrindt is probably not the product of his brain, but is coming from the head of the Bundesverfassungschutz (BfV), one of the two agencies that would gain extrajudicial powers against threats to Germany, the EU and the NATO.
Indeed, since his appointment in October last year, or even since when he was vice president of the BfV, Sinan Selen has campaigned for those increased powers. The BfV head “has to do not only with Russian agents and terrorists, but also with the AfD and Trump,” the Süddeutsche Zeitung resumed in an interview with Selen last may.
