German journalist Weimer faces Kafkaesque security agency process

Wolfram Weimer, a German journalist, is embroiled in a dispute over a bookstore award, but the real issue is an opaque legal process involving the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV). The process reportedly offers no means of defense, raising concerns about due process and state overreach. The outcome is uncertain, but it highlights tensions between state security and press freedom in Germany.
