The intelligence of Germany has described this Friday the ultra -rightist alternative for Germany (AFD) as an “extremist” organization whose objectives are “contrary to the democratic order”, a label with which it already had in several federated states of the country.
This has been indicated by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV), the Intelligence Agency of the German Ministry of Interior, which has analyzed the anti -immigration formation, founded in 2013, and has resolved that its ideas are “contrary” to the rule of law.
“The predominant conception of the party on the people, based on ethnicity and ancestry, is incompatible with the liberal democratic order,” says the agency, which had the formation in the spotlight as “suspect” of being an extremist organization.
The objective of training, has indicated in a statement, is “to exclude certain population groups from social participation on equal terms.” “Specifically, AFD considers, for example, that German citizens with migratory history from countries of Muslim tradition are not equivalent members of the German people ethnically defined by the party,” the text collects.
The statements and positions of the party and the main representatives of the AFD “violate the principle of human dignity,” said Sinan Selen and Silke Willems, high intelligence positions, who have nuanced that this point has been “of vital importance” when making the decision.
The regional offices of the intelligence service in states such as Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt had already previously classified to the respective regional branches of the AFD as extreme right movements.
