Sylvia Mayer, Director of the *Verfassungsschutz* (Germany’s domestic intelligence agency), has warned that identitarian ideology fosters a breeding ground for violence in Germany. In an interview with *Der STANDARD*, Mayer argued it is insufficient to dismiss violent acts as isolated incidents, suggesting a deeper, systemic problem. She indicated that a "Betätigungsverbot" (ban on activity) for identitarian structures is a possible step to counter the rising threat. Mayer’s comments highlight growing concern within German security services regarding the spread and impact of far-right extremist groups. The *Verfassungsschutz* is closely monitoring these groups and assessing their potential to incite further violence. This warning comes as Germany grapples with increasing instances of politically motivated crime linked to right-wing extremism. Mayer emphasized the need for a comprehensive approach to tackle the root causes of this violence.
