德国内阁周三批准了一项扩大联邦宪法保护局（BfV）和联邦情报部门（BND）权力的草案法案，这将是二战后德国最大的情报机构改革[1]。根据该草案，两大情报部门将获得网络防御、数据操纵删除、人工智能数据分析以及生物特征数据交叉引用等新能力[1]。德国内政部长亚历山大·多布林特（CSU）为改革辩护称，"破坏、间谍活动、网络攻击和外国的秘密行动需要新的应对方式"[1]。改革预计在2027年初开始实施[1]。
然而，该提案面临广泛反对。民权协会（GFF）专家凯·迪特曼认为这份700多页的草案大部分条款违反宪法[1]。左翼党议员克拉拉·邦格表示，"德国绝不能再有秘密警察"[1]。民权组织和反对党普遍认为改革将削弱议会监督。与此同时，国会情报服务监督委员会主席马克·亨里希曼（基民盟）表示支持这项改革[1]。
Germany's cabinet approved a draft law on Wednesday that would grant expanded powers to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) and the Federal Intelligence Service (BND), marking the most significant intelligence reform in Germany since World War II.[1] The new authorities would include capabilities in cyber defense, data manipulation and deletion, and artificial intelligence-driven data analysis.[1]
Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt of the Christian Social Union stated that "sabotage, espionage, cyberattacks, and covert foreign operations require new countermeasures," underscoring the government's rationale for the overhaul.[1] The reforms are expected to take effect in early 2027.[1] However, civil liberties organizations and opposition parties have contested the proposal as unconstitutional and a weakening of parliamentary oversight.[1] An expert from the Civil Liberties Association (GFF), Kai Dittmann, assessed that over 700 pages of the draft legislation violate the constitution in large part.[1] Left-wing party lawmaker Clara Bunge warned that "Germany must never again have a secret police," echoing concerns among critics.[1] Mark Henriehman, chair of the parliamentary intelligence oversight committee and a member of the Christian Democratic Union, voiced support for the reform efforts.[1]
