Germany: intelligence declares AfD far-right party, possible ban

German services raise the alert: Alternative für Deutschland is incompatible with the democratic order. Political and legal clash opens

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has confirmed the classification of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as an extreme right-wing formation. Until now, the party had been placed in the ‘suspect case’ category, but now the assessment is clear: the entire party is considered incompatible with the basic principles of German democracy.

According to the agency, the AfD is based on a view of human beings based on ethnicity and origin criteria that violates the constitutional principle of the inviolability of human dignity. The positions taken by the party leadership and their statements led the BfV to extend the classification already applied to the regional branches of Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt to the entire formation.
Immediately the AfD retaliated, strongly contesting the decision, calling it political and without legal basis. Vice-President Stephan Brandner announced that the party would consider a possible legal challenge next week.

The new classification allows the authorities to intensify their monitoring of the party, using tools that are already partially active: surveillance of meetings, telephone tapping, recordings and the use of informants. An operational extension that, according to Der Spiegel, reopens the debate on a possible ban on the party by the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.

Outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser defended the legitimacy of the BfV’s work, emphasising that there was no political interference in the drafting of the more than 1,100-page report.

Chancellor Olaf Scholz also commented cautiously, describing the intelligence document as detailed and well-founded, but declared himself against a hasty procedure to ban the AfD, recalling that the Constitutional Court has always rejected similar requests in the past.

Italian League leader Matteo Salvini also intervened on the matter, speaking of ‘theft of democracy’, expressing solidarity with the German party and claiming that, according to polls, the AfD is currently the leading force in the country.
