Germany's top domestic intelligence agency has formally labeled the far-right political party a right-wing extremist organization, citing its anti-democratic stance and discriminatory rhetoric targeting migrants and ethnic minorities.
The Alternative for Germany party, or AfD, has been under official scrutiny by Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) since at least 2021 due to its growing connections with far-right figures and increasingly inflammatory nationalist rhetoric, Euro News reported.
