In some of these groups mentioned was referred to their assessment by the Federal Office and the State authorities for constitutional protection. Thus, the asker grounded their suspicion " that which is ' looking right ' is a tax-funded platform for the dissemination of leftist slogans under the label of combating right-wing. "
