Ahahaha. Just look at the NSU neonazi shithole if the ass-kissing to the NSA doesn't show you enough, we Germans have capitulated to our and FVEY secret services too.
I think the reason for this is mainly less budget partly due to the fact, that the German agencies are often not federal agencies, e.g. each tiny state has their own Verfassungsschutz.
I mean, the NSU affair was really bad, but incompetent-criminals-bad not secret-state-government-bad.
