Day X plot
The Day X plot refers to plans allegedly formulated in 2017 by elements within the Kommando Spezialkräfte (KSK; "Special Forces Command") of Germany's Bundeswehr to assassinate several left-leaning politicians including Dietmar Bartsch. Others have dismissed the allegations as a conspiracy theory, saying a more routine criminal matter was exaggerated in order to embarrass the ruling Christian Democratic Union of Germany in advance of the 2017 German federal election.
