Rubio condemns German intelligence’s decision to classify far-right party AfD as extremist​

Secretary of State Marco Rubio advised Germany to “reverse course” following the domestic intelligence agency’s decision, which grants German authorities increased oversight and surveillance over the party.


Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned a decision Friday from Germany’s domestic intelligence agency to classify the political party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a “proven right-wing extremist organization,” calling the move “tyranny in disguise” and advising the country to “reverse course.”

“What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes,” Rubio wrote in a post on X in the hours following the decision.

The decision, announced Friday by Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, gives German authorities increased oversight and surveillance over AfD. While some AfD branches at the state level have received the label — such as in Saxony and Thuringia — this is the first time in modern German history that a party with nationwide representation on the federal level has been classified as extremist.


The party won a record 152 parliament seats in the February federal elections and now holds 20.8 percent of the vote.

After conducting a three-year-long investigation into the party, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution released a 1,000 page report, citing violations of core constitutional principles including human dignity and the rule of law.

President Donald Trump and his inner circle have been largely supportive of the AfD. AfD co-leader Alice Weidel was one of many foreign leaders invited to attend Trump’s inauguration and Elon Musk has shown continued support for the party and spoke at an election campaign event for the AfD in January.

“Banning the centrist AfD, Germany’s, most popular party, would be an extreme attack on democracy,” Musk wrote in a post on X.

Unlike you, the Germans KNOW what fascism is and how it begins. They kind of have a generational first hand experience with that sort of thing.

Here's what YOU and your neo-nazi/christo-fascist mind set friends have to understand:

YOU MAY HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH, BUT THAT FREEDOM DOES NOT MAKE YOU IMMUNE FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF THAT SPEECH.

Just to make it clear to you, Hitler's political party called themselves "socialist". They were anything but.

Do members of those parties shave their heads, wear swastika tattoos and march in jack boots while carrying flags with Nazi symbols on them?

Like the dangerously extremist right-wing nutters do?
 

Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party: What You Need To Know​


AfD leaders have made antisemitic, anti-Muslim and anti-democratic statements, detailed below.

The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz or BfV), its domestic intelligence agency which monitors extremist threats to Germany’s democracy, has listed AfD as an officially suspected extremist organization and classified its youth wing, “Young Alternative,” as extremist in April 2023. The state-level BfV offices in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia have gone a step further and classified the AfD party as a whole as extremist. As a suspected extremist organization, AfD is subject to BfV intelligence collection, including the use of informants and surveillance of individuals and their communications.[1]

Why is AfD of concern? Nazi slogans, Holocaust trivialization and more.
jörn Höcke, leader of the AfD party in the state of Thuringia, has twice been fined by a German court for using a banned Nazi slogan. The phrase, “Everything for Germany” (“Alles für Deutschland”) was a slogan of the Nazi stormtroopers and engraved on their daggers.
