Germany's Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party has been designated as right-wing extremist by the country's federal office for the protection of the constitution.
"The ethnicity- and ancestry-based understanding of the people prevailing within the party is incompatible with the free democratic order," the domestic intelligence agency said in a statement.
The AfD came second in federal elections in February, winning a record 152 seats in the 630-seat parliament with 20.8% of the vote.
The parliament, or Bundestag, will hold a vote next week to confirm conservative leader Friedrich Merz as chancellor, heading a coalition with the centre-left Social Democrats.
The far-right AfD had already been placed under observation for suspected extremism in Germany, and the intelligence agency had also classed it as right-wing extremist in three states in the east, where its popularity is highest.
The agency, or Verfassungschutz, said specifically that the AfD did not consider citizens of a "migration background from predominantly Muslim countries" as equal members of the German people.
Although its change in designation of the AfD is likely to be challenged in the courts, it would likely lower the threshold for the agency using informants and surveillance in monitoring the party.
Domestic intelligence cannot push for a ban on the party - that can only go through parliament, government or the constitutional court - but its latest decision could encourage others to start the process.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Standard “news” - there are only right-wing and extreme right-wing groups. Everyone else is moderate. Shove it up your Muslim-hole, BBC.
“ The agency, or Verfassungschutz, said specifically that the AfD did not consider citizens of a “migration background from predominantly Muslim countries” as equal members of the German people.”
Can’t have any of that pernicious “Germany is for Germans” thought, can we?
Western Civilization is doomed.

The left are the governments that have committed genocide on their own populations.
I did Nazi that coming.
Bring a historically protestant (North) and Catholic (South) culture together with an entirely different (Islamic) value system and you have the makings of cultural disaster.
Throughout civilization people have banded together through common interests and identities to build their societies. This kum-bah-yah idea that forced compression works is an aberration of the modern age that ignores resistance.
“You say you want a revolution
Well you know”
“……protection of the constitution”
Is that the one that allowed the start of two World Wars? And supported all the European nonsense since?
“A riot is an ugly thing....und I tink it’s about time we had one!”
Partition Germany again before its too late.
Fotzenfritz. What his colleagues called him behind his back. Conservative only from the extreme left BBC POV. Reneged on 100% of promises made before the election.
No one should be surprised by what’s happening in Germany. Upon unification, all those millions of indoctrinated East Germans were “absorbed” as “German” when nothing could have been further from the truth. Those folks were “Soviets”, fully indoctrinated and brainwashed in the dogma of “The State”. Angela Merkel was their crowning achievement, and was the most destructive force they have suffered since WW2. I fear a less than peaceful future for Germany.
So Reich intelligence evaluates political activity inside the country. Some things never change. Hell, at least the CIA has to pretend they aren’t doing it.
Dennis Miller was right back then....
“German reunification: I view this in much the same way I view a possible Dean Martin - Jerry Lewis reconciliation: I never really enjoyed their work, and I’m not sure I need to see any of their new s___.”
Well played sir!
“AfD classified as extreme-right by German intelligence”
Expected, since they oppose the Neocon War in Ukraine.
It is starting to g to look like Germany needs more American bombs - dropped on them. Modern Germany has found its way to another form of totalitarian socialism.
Is that a bad thing, or does it amount to one tick to the right of Stalin?
