Soldiers, a right-wing judge and an aristocrat with pretensions to become Germany’s new leader were arrested yesterday on suspicion of plotting to storm the Reichstag and overthrow the German government.
Investigators said last night that at least two dozen armed men and women had planned to force their way into the parliament in Berlin and handcuff MPs and ministers in a violent coup d’état.
The plot, involving members of the Reichsbürger anti-establishment movement and far-right conspiracy theorists influenced by the American QAnon movement, aimed to eliminate the existing state order “by military means”, prosecutors said.
-One would think those things only happened in Afirika!
