Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), has officially classified the Alternative fur Deutschland (AfD) as a 'confirmed rightwing extremist' organization. This designation follows previous considerations of the party as a 'suspected' threat to democracy. The AfD's anti-immigrant and pro-Kremlin positions, particularly its ethnically-driven understanding of German identity, have been deemed incompatible with democratic principles. In response, the AfD intends to legally challenge the BfV's decision while public and political calls for a ban on the party intensify.
Germany's domestic intelligence service, the BfV, has classified the far-right AfD as a confirmed rightwing extremist force, allowing for increased surveillance and legal challenges.
The AfD, a significant political force in Germany, is under scrutiny for its anti-immigrant rhetoric that authorities claim threatens the country's democratic values.
