Just six days ago the intelligence service labelled the AfD as a right-wing extremist case, as the party was alleged to undermine the country’s free democratic basic order.
Germany's intelligence service has suspended its earlier decision to classify the far-right party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as “right-wing extremist”
Germany’s major far-right party is now fighting the classification in court. As a consequence, the intelligence agency has given a so-called standstill agreement – meaning that it is pausing the “extremist” designation until a court decision has been made.
