Sergei Tretyakov made such claims. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergei_Tretyakov_(intelligen...

Stasi and green activist contacts are also documented. (Most funding came from fossile fuel orgs/persons, not eastern block.) https://www.dw.com/en/study-confirms-that-stasi-infiltrated-...

I didn't see anything in that in that wikipedia article about it. Besides, the claims of defectors are frequently exaggerated and fall apart. They have a strong tendency to try to say what they think their audience want to hear.

This article is 0% about the conspiracy theory and 100% about how the stasi tried to infiltrate a political party - which is, yes, quite plausible.

As I said, it's quite the conspiracy theory.


The Stasi infiltrated and tried to influence every organization they could get half a toehold in, in both the BRD/DDR.

That doesn't mean they favored (or otherwise sought to promote) all of the aims and goals of the organizations. Or even any of their aims, necessary.

Their primary goal in doing so was, first and foremost, that of their very motto:
