Overview

• Brandenburg’s minister-president said possible measures affecting AfD employees in the public service will be examined only after a court upholds an intelligence finding of right‑wing extremism.
• He argued that disadvantaging party members is legally difficult while the AfD is not banned, pointing to the Basic Law’s guarantee of equal treatment.
• Potential reviews would consider whether prominent AfD figures are suitable for positions with special duties of loyalty to the state, including certain civil-servant posts.
• The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution’s planned nationwide upgrade of the AfD announced in May remains paused due to an AfD lawsuit.
• Brandenburg’s state intelligence service has already classified the AfD there as a confirmed right‑wing extremist organization.
