Germany's construction ministry has proposed a reform to the Federal Building Code that would grant municipalities a right of first refusal on property sales to individuals flagged as extremists by intelligence agencies. The measure targets a documented pattern of far-right groups acquiring rural estates and community buildings to establish organizational hubs, but opponents warn it could enable political "ideology tests" for real estate buyers and faces significant constitutional hurdles under Article 14 of the Basic Law.
