The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has been classified as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" group by Germany's BfV, leading to immediate consequences including the exclusion of its politicians from official engagements. Hesse's Minister for European Affairs emphasized the unacceptability of engaging with a party designated as extremist. This classification threatens the AfD's political aspirations, especially after its notable performance in the February 2025 elections. Federal states are contemplating the implications of AfD membership for civil servants, while party leaders face increased political isolation and doubts regarding their roles in governance.
The classification of the AfD as "confirmed right-wing extremist" could jeopardize its attempts to integrate into mainstream German politics, following a strong electoral showing.
International partners can no longer be expected to engage politically with representatives from a party identified as right-wing extremist, according to Hesse's Minister for European affairs.
