Overview

  • The state’s intelligence agency upgraded the AfD to a confirmed right-wing extremist organization earlier this year.
  • The AfD sued at the Potsdam Administrative Court and obtained a suspension of the new classification under a Stillhalteerklärung.
  • In a July 17 Landtag session, René Wilke accused the party of blocking transparency and urged it to lift its own injunction.
  • AfD leader Hans-Christoph Berndt called the label a “massive interference” in political competition and said it defames the party.
  • A parliamentary majority joined SPD and CDU members in voting against making the suspended classification note public.
