Germany’s domestic intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution or BfV, on Friday classified the country’s popular Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist.”
“Central to our assessment is the ethnically and ancestrally defined concept of the people that shapes the AfD, which devalues entire segments of the population in Germany and violates their human dignity,” the BfV said, explaining its decision. “This concept is reflected in the party’s overall anti-migrant and anti-Muslim stance.”
The AfD slammed the decision, calling it a “blow against democracy,” claiming it was “clearly politically motivated,” which the BfV denied.
The U.S. also criticized the designation, with Secretary of State Marco Rubio claiming it is “tyranny in disguise.”

The state of Maine and President Donald Trump came to one small agreement in their large-scale feud over the issue of trans athletes in girls’ sports.
In exchange for the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreeing to restore federal funds to Maine that it had frozen, the state dropped its lawsuit against the Trump administration over that issue.
The lawsuit was filed April 7 after a federal funding freeze in response to the state’s refusal to keep trans athletes out of girls sports.
