GermanyThe 2025 Bremen Constitution Protection Report highlights increased attention to the Interventionistische Linke (IL), a leftist group accused of being spied on by a state security agent. The report notes that the section on the IL has doubled in length, suggesting heightened scrutiny. However, the media, including local outlets like 'Buten un Binnen' and the 'Weser-Kurier', initially focused heavily on alleged infiltration of the ruling coalition by left extremists but later largely ignored the V-Mann (informant) affair in subsequent coverage. This omission was noted during a press conference where journalists failed to ask questions about the issue. The controversy began in January when the IL revealed they had identified a Verfassungsschutz (constitutional protection agency) informant who allegedly spied on them for years. Soon after, the magazine *Spiegel* accused a Bremer lawyer of being involved in the exposure of the informant, leading to his removal from office and other resignations. Legal associations criticized this as an attack on the separation of powers. The report also mentions ongoing investigations by prosecutors into potential breaches of confidentiality.
