Bremerhaven in focus: AfD and the fight against right -wing extremist currents
Bremerhaven, Deutschland - On June 12, 2025, the interior ministers of the federal and state governments meet in Bremerhaven to discuss a central topic: the AfD. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in particular has classified the party at the federal level as "secured right -wing extremist". This assessment also applies in the federal states of Thuringia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg. In most other federal states, however, the AfD is considered a suspected case, including in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and North Rhine-Westphalia. A major criticism comes from Bremen Senator Ulrich Mäurer (SPD), which criticizes the different classifications between the levels.
The AfD has significant influence in the Bundestag and among its MPs despite these differences. In the past few months, the party has also achieved numerous successes. Observers find that the AfD leadership, led by Alice Weidel, has professionalized and shows fewer internal conflicts. However, there are still many open questions, especially whether civil servants in security authorities are a member of the AfD.
increasing numbers of extremism in Germany
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution is observing an alarming increase in extremist people in Germany in parallel to these developments. For 2024, their number is estimated to be 176,080, compared to 163,000 in 2023. The increase in right -wing extremist potential, which increases from 40,600 to 50,250, is particularly noteworthy. The number of members of the AfD also corresponds to this trend and move in the right -wing extremist spectrum.The political conflicts and challenges in Germany are also reinforced by the last registered data. A total of 84,172 politically motivated crimes were recorded in 2024, which represents an increase of 40 percent compared to the previous year. Among these falls 42,788 right -wing extremist crimes, an increase of 28,945 in 2023. Civil rights activists warn that the AfD acts not only as a suspected case, but as a relevant actor in this extreme spectrum.
responsibility and interactions
The AfD shows current signs of professionalization, but the willingness to change content is limited. Maximilian Krah, a leading member, incorporates the demand for equal treatment of all citizens and criticizes the previous AfD defense strategy, which is often based on ethnic and boundary foundations. Numerous internal calls for moderation also question the more radical members, who have so far often acted as draft horses.
The explanations about the cooperation between left -wing extremist and Islamist groups, which are increasingly acting in demonstrations, are also remarkable. This indicates a comprehensive social challenge in terms of extremism and anti -Semitism, which have also strengthened on October 7, 2023 since Hamas's terrorist attack. According to the constitutional protection report, it turns out that anti-Semitism and Israele hostility has increased significantly.Overall, the AfD is a symbol of the complex challenges with which Germany is confronted in the field of extremism. The increasing figures for the protection of the constitution are a worrying sign for the brutalization of the political debate in the country.
