Germany’s domestic intelligence agency is to begin monitoring elements of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD), placing particular focus on Björn Höcke, a nationalist agitator considered one of the driving forces in a move to take the party towards the extreme right.

The BfV said it would also be keeping the party’s youth wing, Young Alternative (JA), under surveillance and would investigate whether the AfD as a whole should be put on its official watchlist, but said it still had insufficient evidence for doing so.

Thomas Haldenwang, the agency’s head, said Höcke’s wing of the party was “a threat to the liberal democratic principles of Germany’s constitution”.

Good to see that all those old people from the Stasi found a new job with the Merkel regime.

I was wondering what McCabe and Strzok were doing since they were fired from the FBI.

“Extreme-right wing”...no bias there.

So radical leftwing totalitarianism (i.e. communism & islam) is OK?

[Major Matt Mason]

Aren't members of the Afd the ones that are being attacked randomly (and illegally) by Antifa types? Antifa = Brown Shirts.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

They are getting the “Arbeiten Macht Frei” day spas ready too.

And Nazism. Hitler was a progressive, a socialist, a leftist...a demoncrat in a hugo boss uniform.

[VanShuyten]

Of course,to do this, they had to shift personnel from watching jihadis and communists.

[FlingWingFlyer]

It sounds like the extreme left wing commies are starting to panic.

[Uncle Miltie]

Just like Trump.

The Uniparty Deep State cannot abide the people.
