German spy agency brands far-right AfD as ‘extremist’, opens way for closer surveillance
2025-05-03
[IsraelTimes] Report calls Alternative for Germany party a racist and anti-Muslim organization stirring up ‘irrational fears and hostility’; move comes amid soaring support for far right in Europe

Germany’s spy agency on Friday classified the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as "extremist," enabling it to step up monitoring of the country’s biggest opposition party, which decried the move as a "blow against democracy."

A 1,100-page report by experts found that the AfD is a racist and anti-Moslem organization, a finding that grants the security services powers to recruit informants and intercept party communications.

#10  The "1,100-page report by experts" is so far secret but three quotes from AfD politicians used to substantiate its finding were leaked to the press.

"Vielfalt bedeutet Multikulti. Und was bedeutet Multikulti? Multikulti bedeutet Traditionsverlust, Identitätsverlust, Verlust der Heimat, Mord, Totschlag, Raub und Gruppenvergewaltigung."

"Verfehlte Migrationspolitik und Asylmissbrauch haben zum 100.000-fachen Import von Menschen aus zutiefst rückständigen und frauenfeindlichen Kulturen geführt."

"Wir müssen auch wieder entscheiden dürfen, wer überhaupt zu diesem Volk gehört und wer nicht. Es gehört mehr dazu, Deutscher zu sein, als einfach nur eine Staatsbürgerurkunde in der Hand zu haben."

Deepl translation:

“Diversity means multiculturalism. And what does multiculturalism mean? Multiculturalism means loss of tradition, loss of identity, loss of homeland, murder, manslaughter, robbery and gang rape.”

“Misguided migration policies and asylum abuse have led to the 100,000-fold import of people from deeply backward and misogynistic cultures.”

“We must also be allowed to decide again who belongs to this nation and who does not. There is more to being German than simply having a citizenship certificate in your hand.”


These positions, with which I agree in part are considered to be "extreme right" positions by the Germany federal executive.

For reference the Communist Party of Germany has exercised some political power in unified Germany since 1994.

The CPEG is the organized core of an actual murderous dictatorship.

The BfV, the domestic "spy agency" is an agency of the federal executive of Germany. It is lead by political appointees who serve at the pleasure of the interior minister.

Its presidency is vacant, because the former president resigned in late 2024 to run for a parliament seat for the CDU / Merkel's party, ultimately unsuccessfully.

One of the two vice presidents and current leaders of the BfV is Istanbul born Sinan Selen.

The BfV is not independent.

@9 The foundation of the East German regime was the GSFG/ГСВГ/GSSD.
Nothing exists at present in Germany that could be seen as the strategic equivalent of the GSFG.

I don't see any escalation because there's no "Red Coat" force in sight.

#9  Let's put it this way, the largest portion of your country is fast approaching Declaration of Independence territory. Oppress them at your own risk.

#8  Yeah, whatever it's original intent and purpose, I'm guessing it became an accepted way to apply pressure to opposition not long before McCain started calling people Hobbits, the kind of retarded slur someone would use who doesn't have the urgency of risk, likely abused to suppress opposition to the Blamtifa Riots, and peak flexed with Biden's Red Background Speech when he called everyone not on board The Machine an inhuman domestic terrorist, a message roundly rejected last election cycle and hopefully is under some scrutiny because if it is casually being abused to do, say, help fabricate the kidnapping of a sitting governor, that is way out of charter.

This looks like next form Patriot Act when instead of hack judges giving permission slips, opposition to policy is officially outlawed, and the conversation we too would be having had "Harris Won". It is a bit more open, to be honest, and has a nifty hat, so there is that.

#7  I would argue that AfD is not stirring up irrational fear and hostility. It is not irrational when you have deadbeat immigrants stabbing you, raping your daughters and driving their cars into crowds of shoppers.

#6  It’s a shame the German government won’t allow the voters to decide on leadership.
