AfD classified as right -wing extremist: new debates in NRW sparked

AfD is against the protection of the constitution

In the past few days, the AfD has come into talk after the Federal Constitutional Protection has classified the entire party as anti -constitutional. The authorities have found that the AfD is "secured right-wing extremist", which was previously only true for the national associations in Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. This classification has caused the AfD to strive for legal steps to proceed against the decision of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

The legal disputes are expected to take place in North Rhine-Westphalia, where the head of the constitutional protection is located. First of all, it could go to court in Cologne and Münster would be responsible in the next instance. In parallel to these developments, the question of how to deal with the AfD will be designed in the future will also be loud. Options such as a possible ban procedure or a more intensive discussion are discussed.

At the international level, the classification of the AfD caused controversial reactions. Representatives of the US government, including Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, criticized the decision as a form of "hidden tyranny". The US Vice President J. D. Vance also expressed similar concerns. Tech billionaire Elon Musk described a ban on the AfD as a serious attack on democracy, whereupon the Federal Foreign Office in Germany replied that this was a measure of democracy.

These developments reflect on a profound social debate about extremism and how to deal with political parties that are considered anti -constitutional. In times when public opinion about political extremisms is polarized, dealing with the AfD will have far -reaching implications for the political landscape of Germany.
