The 2008 Greuningian State Chamber attack on November 28, 2008 was an attack by supporters of the then-outgoing Greuningian Governor Alexander von Wiest on the Greuningian parliament building, where the inauguration of the new BVP-SDU state government was taking place in the State Chamber of Greuningia at the time of the attack took place. The operation, unique in Besmenia's history, is being treated as domestic terrorism by law enforcement agencies.
The aim of the attackers was to prevent the Greuningian State Chamber from swearing in the BVP-SDU state government under BVP governor Albrecht Jungmann, which emerged victorious in the 2008 Greuningian state election, and thereby unconstitutionally to help the far-right politician von Wiest to continue his governorship.
During the attack, an estimated 200 to 400 rioters broke into the State Chamber and disrupted the session of parliament for several hours. Numerous people were injured, including police officers. The Greuningian Police received support from the Besmenian Federal Police and units of the Besmenian Federal Army at the request of the then mayor of Richtersberg Günther Beilmann to the Besmenian federal government.
