The alternative ultra -rightist party for Germany (AFD) has filed a lawsuit against the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV), the Intelligence Agency of the German Ministry of Interior, to declare the “Extremist” organization formation, a step that could lead to its prohibition.
A party spokesman has confirmed that the lawsuit has already been delivered to a court in the city of Colonia, located in the west of the country and where the headquarters of the intelligence agency in question is located.
The case is now in the hands of the Administrative Court of Colonia, responsible for the demands against the BFV. Last year, a Muenster court rejected a appeal presented to reverse the intelligence decision to qualify for the party as a possible extremist organization.
On Friday, the BFV described the AFD as a “extreme right movement” due to its “character contrary to democratic values.” Thus, he stressed that the 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 objective of training, he said in a statement, is “excluding certain population groups from social participation in 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.
