On Friday (2), the Internal Intelligence Agency in Germany occupied the extreme alternative to Germany (AFD) as an extremist entity threatening democracy. The party ranked second in the federal elections in February.
According to a specialized report, the agency says AFD is racist and hostile to the income. The classification allows the authorities to increase partisan surveillance, including the employment of passengers and intercepting communications.

However, the other parties, as well as many SPAHN governors, rejected this approach, and Friday news can be used as a justification to prevent AFD attempts to lead the important committees.
“There is a tension between a party demanding the president’s positions based on its size and the freedom of the conscience of members of Parliament,” said political scientist Wolfgang Schroeder of Castle University.
Classification can re -categorize AFD, But the German counselor Olaf Schools, Social Democrats will be the smallest partner in the new Mirz coalition, and has reached the impulsion of AFD.
