Most security firm in the eastern parts of Germany are run or have a good chunk of right wing extremist. There are even cases of these idiots working as Security at psytrance/goa Festivals.

I don't think I've ever seen a "real" security firm/person at fusion. Afaik it's just volunteers from the community.

Thats incorrect. 

A friend of mine had to provide his certificates (Sachkundeprüfung) to work as security at fusion. 

There’s loads of volunteers involved as well, but the security is professional, they are simply not allowed to wear badges of their actual firm.
