Anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany sues after spy agency labels it an extremist party
- On May 5, 2025, Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany filed a lawsuit in Cologne against the domestic intelligence agency BfV over its extremist designation.
- The AfD initiated legal action after the BfV labeled it a "right-wing extremist" group last week, based on a confidential 1,100-page report citing racist and anti-Muslim statements.
- The AfD, which won nearly 21 percent in February's federal election, denounced the label as politically motivated to marginalize the party and suppress its electoral gains.
- Spokesperson Daniel Tapp said the AfD's court filing included a warning that BfV must "refrain from classifying and/or categorizing" the party as extremist, signaling opposition to state power abuse.
- The classification enables enhanced surveillance powers and has sparked discussions on banning the AfD, while the incoming government prepares to review further actions amid contested domestic and international responses.
