🇩🇪 Germany ends almost 30 years of surveillance on Scientologists Germany’s Federal Counterintelligence Agency has announced it is dropping its long-standing monitoring of the Church of Scientology at the federal level. The agency stated that the organization “has lost significance in recent years.” However, it made clear there will be no full amnesty. Scientology will continue to be monitored for any potential threats to the democratic system. Officials noted that the movement’s model of rule by a “Scientology elite” remains incompatible with democratic principles, and they will keep a close eye on its attempts to expand influence.
