The 2020 Annual Report on the Protection of the Constitution was presented to the public on 15 June 2021 by the Federal Minister of the Interior, Horst Seehofer, and the President of the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz, Thomas Haldenwang.

The Report on the Protection of the Constitution provides information on the nature and scope of anti-constitutional developments, on organisations and groupings pursuing activities that are directed against the free democratic basic order, on espionage against Germany, and on proliferation. The individual events have been analysed and evaluated under ideological and strategic aspects. Due to the re-orientation of the offices for the protection of the Constitution, this report focuses on violence-oriented activities. The Annual Report on the Protection of the Constitution significantly contributes to raising awareness about the level of the threat posed to state and society.
