Pressure Grows On Merkel Over NSA And BND Cooperation

BERLIN, GERMANY - MAY 21: Gregor Gysi, co-head of the Bundestag faction of the left-wing Die Linke political party, blasts the government over the role of the U.S. National Security Agency in Germany during debates at the Bundestag on May 20, 2015 in Berlin, Germany. Later today Gerhard Schindler, head of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), Germany's main intelligence agency, is scheduled to testify in front of the Bundestag commission investigating the activites of the NSA in Germany. Pressure is growing on Chancellor Merkel over the cooperation between the NSA and the BND, which according to media reports included spying on German companies. Merkel has denied the allegations and maintains that cooperation between the two agencies is vital for German security, though the junior member of her government coalition, the German Social Democrats (SPD), has called for the release of more information, including the thousands of search terms the NSA supposedly gave the BND in its domestic surveillance efforts.
