This article examines the relation between state institutions and new right-wing movements in Germany. Using a narrative theory approach, it discusses the public communication of the state (Ministry of Defence, Ministry of the Interior and Verfassungsschutz) concerning the rise of the New Right (AfD, Identitarian Movement, Reichsbrger) in front of and via the press, primarily at the Federal Press Conference. The ambivalent positioning of the state institutions towards these challenging voices is shown: on the one hand there seems a leaning towards and, partly, shared views, and, on the other, there is sharp differentiation and even their expressed exclusion from society as a whole. The public record presented in this article reinforces the argument that the state's position towards those movements encourages and indirectly validates the New Right positions
