OPINION: The truth is out about Germany's far-right AfD - now ban the party
Briefly

Germany's domestic intelligence agency has officially termed the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party a 'right-wing extremist group' after a concerning surge in support during recent elections. This designation highlights the dangers the AfD poses to the political system and, by extension, democracy. The call for a ban reflects fears among citizens, with discussions about previous attempts to ban similar parties. The agency has historically only banned two parties, indicating the seriousness and difficulty of imposing restrictions on political entities in Germany.
Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has designated the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a right-wing extremist group, urging action to ban it.
The rise of the AfD, which doubled its votes in recent elections, presents a significant threat to democracy in Germany, transforming citizens' lives and safety.
