AfD Placed Under Observation for Suspected Extremism

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party has been placed under observation by German authorities for suspected extremism. This significant classification provides authorities with enhanced surveillance capabilities.

The classification of the AfD under observation grants German authorities enhanced surveillance capabilities to investigate suspected extremism.

Previously, the intelligence agency had already categorized the AfD as right-wing extremist in three specific eastern German states. These particular states are recognized for having the party's highest levels of public support.
