"The BfV's decision to classify the AfD as extremist follows a three-year investigation assessing its alignment with constitutional principles while highlighting connections to right-wing groups."
"Despite the AfD's electoral success, securing 20.8% of votes, mainstream parties continue to isolate it, denying any coalition or governance roles."
Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has officially designated the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as an extremist party after a comprehensive three-year investigation. The report examined the party's alignment with fundamental constitutional values and its connections to right-wing extremist factions. The ruling follows the AfD's electoral performance, where it captured 20.8% of the vote, but it remains politically marginalized, as mainstream parties refuse to collaborate with them, emphasizing the divide despite their growing support.
