Overview

• In May the Brandenburg Office for the Protection of the Constitution upgraded AfD Brandenburg to “gesichert rechtsextremistisch,” but publication was paused after the party filed a lawsuit.
• AfD state chair René Springer argues the memo could be legally published with only the extremist passages redacted and accuses Minister René Wilke of political obstruction.
• Interior Minister René Wilke says the party’s own court action bars any release of the document and labels the AfD as untrustworthy.
• The AfD condemns Wilke’s refusal as deceptive and insists the classification is politically motivated.
• Brandenburg’s AfD executive is set to meet Tuesday to debate further legal steps aimed at forcing disclosure of the classification memo.
