Germany designates AfD regional party as extremist
- Germany's domestic intelligence agency has designated the Saxony-Anhalt branch of the far-right AfD party as a confirmed extremist organization, allowing for systematic surveillance.
- The AfD party has faced a string of successes in recent years, capitalizing on anti-euro sentiment and anger over mass migration. The party's youth wing and the neighboring branch in Thuringia have also been classified as extremist organizations.
- The intelligence agency cited concerns about the party's anti-Muslim, racist, and anti-Semitic statements, as well as its attacks on democratic institutions. The classification gives the agency more authority for surveillance at the state level.
