Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has designated AfD as a right-wing extremist organisation, citing xenophobic stances as the reason. Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution on Friday designated the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a right-wing extremist organisation that poses a threat to democracy and the constitutional order.
The office, also known as BvF, cited the AfD’s xenophobic stances on ethnicity as the reason for the decision, stating the party was being discriminatory towards non-ethnic Germans.
According to the statement released on Friday, the office's experts have examined whether the AfD's actions “matched central basic principles of the German constitution" over a three-year period.
The office also looked into statements shared by AfD representatives, their broader behaviour, as well as their connections to right-wing extremist actors and groups.
The video player is currently playing an ad. This led the body to determine that the AfD “aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to unconstitutional unequal treatment and thus to assign them a legally devalued status."
It added that the far-right party does not consider people with “a migration history from Muslim-influenced countries as equivalent members of the ethnically defined German people.”
Meanwhile, the AfD's co-chairs Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla issued a joint statement in which they claimed the decision was "politically motivated", reminding their supporters that the classification has not yet been "legally finalised."
Weidel and Chrupalla stated that the party would continue to "legally defend" itself, against what it said was "defamation".
In turn, Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement that the classification was “clear and unambiguous” and resulted from a 1,100-page “comprehensive and neutral audit” without political influence.
In Germany's February elections, the AfD came in second with 20.8% of the vote, after the centre-right CDU and ahead of the centre-left SPD, the two parties that will form the new government.

Although the German parliament could ask for the entire party to be dissolved, it is very unlikely that this will actually happen.
Outgoing Chancellor Olaf Scholz has since called for caution regarding a possible ban on the AfD, stating, "I am against a kneejerk. We have to evaluate the classification carefully."

“Germany designates AfD as right-wing extremist organisation, citing threat to democracy”
If the AfD does not feel obligated to take orders from Brussels, then they’re CLEARLY an Extremist party, and have to be disbanded. Otherwise, how can Germany claim to be a free and democratic country?
The Germans will either start driving these people out, or they will just die.
There are going to be some hard lessons for the Germans, once again. They can't seem to do anything in moderation.
It's either extreme wacko in one direction, or extreme wacko in the other direction. No middle ground for Germans, it seems.
This is how you end up with a REAL right-wing party...
AfD party head is a lesbian. Europe thinks banning the opposition will get them what they want. They are going to have riots in the streets all over Europe soon if they keep on this path...
AfD certainly did Nazi that coming!
Or did they?
This is exactly how third world dictatorships operate.
But they support illegal aliens and the hate those illegals have for everything not them? An oxymoron?
And yet we have American expats living there that lap it up and continue to spend their time and money in a now Nazi wanna be country.
This is what the leftists want for America.
The KJBs of the party are laying the groundwork.
This is the case for every other European country as well. the muslims have booted out all their jihadists from the muslim. They have all come to Europe. Eventually, every European country will have to kick them out or be taken over.
It’s not unintentional.
Second-world dictatorships too. Even more so.
That’s one way to eliminate the political opposition.
Democrats look on in envy.
So much for ‘afd’. A threat to the old guard. Will the ‘reform’ party in UK get the same treatment?
Just like the Weimar Republk.
Obviously this is exactly what the democrats have tried to do to the MAGA patriots. Their evil NWO overlords are not going to stop until they succeed or they are physically stopped. Not to preach but it will be one or the other.
The UK is becoming more radical than Iran. You can actually fly to Tehran. People there are actually chill.
Let’s Go Brandon....
Start a new party...Love and Diversity Party. Same folks running for offices, preaching love and diversity for the government officials that cancelled the afD.
People are not stupid.
All of the elite European fascists are running scared.
