Germany sees new debate over possible ban of the AfD

  • On May 2, 2025, Germany's domestic intelligence agency officially designated Alternative für Deutschland as an established right-wing extremist movement.
  • This classification followed a confidential 1,100-page report using data from 2021 to 2025, timed for release after the federal election to avoid accusations of political interference.
  • The report states the AfD promotes an ethnic conception of the German people that excludes migrants, using terms like 'Passdeutsche' and 'Großer Austausch' to express this ideology.
  • Polling shows 61% see the AfD as extreme right, with 48% favoring a ban, while party leaders deny extremism and criticize the intelligence agency's assessment as politically motivated.
  • The classification enables increased surveillance and restrictions on the AfD, fueling debate on banning the party amid concerns about upholding democratic principles and addressing voter grievances.
