A recent report by Germany's intelligence agency identified the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a racist and anti-Muslim right-wing extremist organization. This revelation led to condemnation from Trump administration officials, who argued against the report's findings and criticized Germany's immigration policies. The AfD has contested the report, claiming it is politically motivated, while U.S. leaders, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance, defended the party by pointing to its electoral success and popularity as indicative of a public backlash against the establishment's policies.
The report labeled the AfD as a 'proven right-wing extremist organization,' highlighting its xenophobic and Islamophobic ideology as a direct threat to Germany's constitution.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio declared that the real extremism lies not with the AfD but with the mainstream politicians promoting open border policies that the party opposes.
Vice President J.D. Vance defended the AfD by pointing to its electoral success, suggesting that the party's popularity is a condemnation of the German political establishment.
The AfD's response to the report has been to challenge its legitimacy in court, framing the intelligence agency's findings as politically motivated actions by a departing government.
