Rubio on AfD verdict: 'Germany is tyranny in disguise'

  • In 2025, Germany's domestic intelligence agency, the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz , officially classified the far-right AfD party as a confirmed right-wing extremist organization.
  • This classification followed a three-year investigation and a 1,100-page report concluding AfD's ideology clashes with Germany's democratic order.
  • The designation permits German officials to intensify their surveillance of the AfD, including deploying informants and intercepting communications, amidst the party’s rising electoral popularity.
  • Marco Rubio criticized Germany’s decision, describing it as a disguised form of tyranny that undermines democracy, and argued that the true extremism stems from the open-border immigration policies opposed by the AfD.
  • The dispute intensified transatlantic tensions, with Germany asserting the decision protects democracy and vowing independent courts will review the case amid ongoing political debate.
