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.

- The dispute intensified transatlantic tensions, with Germany asserting the decision protects democracy and vowing independent courts will review the case amid ongoing political debate.
