The designation of Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a right-wing extremist entity by the BfV has sparked swift condemnation from US officials. The BfV cited the party's exclusionary rhetoric and attempts to undermine democracy as reasons for the classification, which grants authorities enhanced surveillance powers. US Vice President JD Vance harshly criticized the move, likening it to a reconstruction of the Berlin Wall and claiming it restricts free speech. Secretary of State Marco Rubio also condemned the designation, labeling it a disguise for tyranny against political opposition.
US Vice President JD Vance accused Germany of rebuilding a 'Berlin Wall,' suggesting that the German establishment is restricting freedom of speech by ostracizing the AfD.
The BfV's designation of the AfD as a right-wing extremist entity aims to protect democracy by highlighting its exclusionary and hateful positions against certain population groups.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized the BfV for labeling the AfD as extremists, claiming it represents 'tyranny in disguise' against political dissent.
The BfV's decision to classify the AfD as a right-wing extremist party allows increased monitoring, reflecting concerns over the party's challenge to democratic values in Germany.
