German Spy Agency Formally Classifies AfD Party As "Right-Wing Extremist", Same Week As They Top Polls

Friday, May 02, 2025 - 10:40 AM

Just days after Germany's 'Alternative fur Deutschland' (AfD) party topped the polls...

Germany's domestic intelligence agency has formally classified the party as a right-wing extremist movement, granting authorities enhanced powers to monitor the party as a potential threat to democracy, due to the “extremist character of the entire party.”

As Reuters reports, the BfV agency's finding, based on a 1,100-page expert report, that the AfD is racist and anti-Muslim allows the authorities to increase surveillance of the party, including by recruiting confidential informants and intercepting communications.

“Key to our assessment is the AfD’s ethnic-based understanding of the people, which devalues ​​entire population groups in Germany and violates their human dignity,” they added.

“This is reflected in the party’s overall anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim stance.”

The AfD has "defamed and vilified" individuals and groups, stirring up "irrational fears and hostility toward them," it added.

As Remix News reports, one of the key factors that the BfV is attempting to use to justify the designation is the AfD’s alleged position on “ethnic Germans.”

“The ethnic-descendant understanding of the people prevailing in the party is not compatible with the free democratic basic order,” reads the statement from the BfV.

“The AfD, for example, does not consider German citizens with a migration history from predominantly Muslim countries to be equal members of the German people, as ethnically defined by the party.”

The BfV, which has been led by a Christian Democrat for years who was rabidly opposed to the AfD, a rival party, further writes:

“The BfV reached this conclusion after an intensive and comprehensive expert review. Following its statutory mandate, the BfV was required to assess the party’s actions against the central fundamental principles of the constitution: human dignity, the principle of democracy, and the rule of law. In doing so, in addition to the federal party’s platform and statements, the statements and other behavior of its representatives, as well as their connections to right-wing extremist actors and groups, were examined in particular.”

The outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has called the assessment "clear and unambiguous" and insisted that the agency operates independently,

“There was no political influence whatsoever on the new report,” she added.

“The new assessment will certainly be subject to judicial review as well. In a constitutional state, independent courts ultimately make the decisions.”

The AfD has denounced the move as a "severe blow to German democracy" and vowed that the party “will continue to defend itself legally against these defamatory statements.”

“The AfD, as an opposition party, is being publicly discredited and criminalized shortly before the change of government,” AfD co-leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla said in a joint statement.

“The associated, targeted interference in the democratic decision-making process is therefore clearly politically motivated.”

Is "rational" a better word wtb? It would explain why you would support this without question or caveats. You are the only one of this forum who behaves unhinged every other day. So yeah, I think the better term is rational people would vote for and to counter this dangerous power grab.

You know that your neofascist maga has made the USA perhaps the most currently hated country in the world. So hated that conservative parties in other countries e.g. Canada, Australia etc etc etc that were leading in the polls are now getting trashed, because even conservatives in developed countries are going, fuck, we dont want to be neofascists like those fuckers. And yet somehow you manage to tell your brain to not notice that.

"Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned a decision Friday by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency to classify the political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a right-wing extremist organization, calling the move “tyranny in disguise.”

“What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes,” Rubio wrote in a post on X in the hours following the decision.

“Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition,” he wrote. “That’s not democracy—it’s tyranny in disguise.”"

You whine about stupid ass things like people hate Nazis and think that's unfair to justify doing nazi-like things and supporting a dictatorship.

It's so fucking stupid and only possible because you nazi fuckheads are jerking each other off all the time online from your parents basement.

Sweden’s police and the security authorities needs to classify SD as a threat to democracy, also. So they can be banned from participating in the next election. That would be sweet. I believe the Social Democrat’s has already classified them as a threat to democracy.
