What was previously only true was extended to the entire party: according to the protection of the Constitution (BFV), the German AfD is “secured right -wing extremist”. Members of the party are anti -democratic and would repeatedly violate human dignity.
The German domestic intelligence service announced that the suspicion that the party had been confirmed against the free democratic basic regulations was confirmed and was compacted in important parts. “The ethnic parent concept in the party is not compatible with the free democratic basic order,” said the security agency.
It aims to exclude certain population groups from equal social participation. “In particular, the AfD, for example, regards German citizens with migration history from Muslim countries as non -equal members of the German people defined by the party,” says the communication of the domestic secret service.
The statements and positions of the party and prominent AfDs representatives violated the principle of human dignity, explained the vice presidents of the authority, Sinan Selen and Silke Willems. This is decisive for the assessment that has now been made.
AfD was already part of it as an extremist of the judge
The State Offices for the protection of the Constitution in Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt had previously classified the respective AFD-State Associations as secure right-wing extremist efforts.
After the media had reported a suspected classification of the entire party in February 2021 as such a so -driven suspicion, the protection of the Constitution had to wait around a year on behalf of the Administrative Court of Cologne until he was able to announce this assessment and the party observed accordingly.
In May 2024, the higher administrative court of Münster ruled that the protection of the Constitution was right to classified the AfD if an extremist suspicion of the law. The legal dispute goes even further.
Use of V people possible
Even in the case of an observation as a presumably case, the use of intelligence agents is already permitted. These include the use of so-called V-people-this are people with access to internal information. Observations or image and sound recordings are also allowed. However, when selecting and using the funds, the principle of proportionality must be stored.
In the case of an observation object that is extremist as secured, the threshold for the use of such resources drops. The observation by protecting the constitution has nothing to do with a ban on parties. Because this can only be requested from the Federal Constitutional Court by the Bundestag, the Federal Council or the Federal Government. However, one of the three constitutional bodies may feel encouraged by the new assessment of the domestic messaging service to submit such an application.
The basis of the decision now made is an extensive report from the BFV, which is only intended for internal use. A publication of the internal working document, which also includes knowledge of the last Fund election campaign, is not intended.
Faeser rejects the accusation of influence
“There was no political influence on the new report,” said the Interior Minister Nancy Faeser on Friday. The federal office had a clear legal mandate to act against extremism and to protect democracy. “It works independently,” said the SPD politician. “The new classification is the result of an extensive and neutral investigation, which is laid down in a report of 1100 pages.”
