AfD hype in Brandenburg: Constitutional protection withdraws observation!

The political landscape in Germany is currently under considerable pressure, especially in terms of the alternative for Germany (AfD). According to Compact-Online , the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution announced that the AfD is no longer classified as "secured right-wing extremist". This decision follows the withdrawal of the corresponding classification by the Brandenburg State Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

The changes in the protection of the constitution were triggered by the dismissal of the VS boss Jörg Müller. He did not inform the SPD Interior Minister Katrin about the classification, which led to her resignation. As a result, the observation of the AfD is temporarily stopped by the constitutional protection.

legal context and complaints

The Brandenburg AfD state association has already filed a lawsuit against its earlier classification, which means that it can no longer be described as "secured right-wing extremist" until the final decision. This could prove to be a strategic advantage for the party, which, despite the political challenges, continue to be popular.

Constitution protection, as a German domestic secret service with the task of protecting the free democratic basic order, the AfD has previously classified as "secured right -wing extremist". This was based on a comprehensive 1,100-page report, in which public statements were documented by AfD members. These positions were rated as international-nationalistic and early democracy, as from information from

classification and effects

The classification of parties by the constitutional protection takes place in three categories: testing, suspected case and secure extremist struts. The AfD was categorized by several state offices as a suspected case and in some federal states, including Brandenburg, as "secured right -wing extremist". These are current figures that depict an increase in right-wing extremist potential in Germany, which is at 40,600 people, such as the Constitutional protection reported.

In addition, the report shows that right -wing extremist crimes have increased in 2022, including an increase of 22.4 percent to a total of 25,660 crimes. Violent acts also increase with 1,148 incidents reported.

The political discussion about the AfD and possible prohibition procedures is heated by the attitude of SPD boss Lars Klingbeil, which supports such a procedure. The CDU, on the other hand, has lodged a veto against the procedure, but the situation remains tense and could change at any time.

Despite the contradictions in the political landscape and the legal challenges, the AfD retains its relevance in German politics, while the debates about right -wing extremist tendencies in parties and society continue to gain intensity.
