In 2024, the German Bundestag reported a notable rise in criminal offenses, with a particular increase in violations of weapon laws, insults, and instances of graffiti.
This uptick aligns with broader discussions on security within governmental institutions in Germany, reflecting growing concerns about safety in political environments.
According to official reports, the number of offenses recorded in the Bundestag has risen sharply when compared to previous years.
The specific category of offenses categorized under violations of the weapons laws has become a focal point for lawmakers and security officials alike.
The rise has sparked intense debate regarding the adequacy of current protective measures in place to safeguard parliament members and staff.
In response to these developments, the ruling coalition, composed of members from the SPD (Social Democratic Party) and the CDU/CSU (Christian Democratic Union/Christian Social Union), has proposed extending the powers of the Bundestag police.
This move is aimed at strengthening security protocols and addressing the increasing threats observed in the political arena.

As the Bundestag prepares to implement potential reforms to bolster its security measures, the ongoing debate highlights the need for comprehensive strategies to address rising criminal activities and ensure the safety of its representatives and the integrity of its operations.
