One legislator said the Stasi operated on the principle "that everyone was a potential security risk and that the government had to know everything that everyone was doing." Justice Minister Klaus Kinkel told reporters this week that Stasi files contain "unspeakable rubbish and filth." For more than a year, accusations of Stasi involvement have cast a pall over German politics, especially in states that were part of East Germany. Dozens of legislators and other state officials have been forced to resign after their connections' to the Stasi were disclosed. The most prominent public figure whose career was ruined by such disclosures was Lothar de Maiziere, who was East Germany's first and only 5 hinder their work.

Many legislators objected, and the law as passed gives the secret service access only to files dealing with espionage or terrorism. Legislators described the Stasi as "a Red Gestapo" and "a criminal gang that functioned with Prussian efficiency." They said it was involved not only in spying on and harassing citizens, but also a host of crimes including training foreign terrorists who later served in Chancellor Hei mut Kohl's Cabinet He sought to deny his past, but Stasi files showed that he had spied on his colleagues for years.
