Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) intends to subject parliamentary employees to stricter controls. Klöckner stated to Deutschlandfunk that there is currently a “very absurd situation,” noting that there is no automatic information exchange because the legal basis for it is missing, for instance, concerning intelligence services. As a result, they are not automatically notified if a designated threat individual registers at the German Bundestag. While everyone entering the Bundestag is checked, they do not automatically receive intelligence service information. This information is naturally needed, even during the extended security screening of employees. This is because they receive a building access pass and can move anywhere within the building. She does not want employees who have founded a GmbH (limited liability company) with Russian agents, and who can then pass through the building. Therefore, this Bundestag Police Law, with its various facets, is an extremely important point.
