nationwide protests against the AfD

on Sunday, May 11th, the alliance "It is enough" follows the nationwide protests in order to indicate the classification of the AfD as "secured right -wing extremist" by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV). This new classification, which is based on the party's extremist characteristics, has sparked a discussion about a possible party ban. Marco Förster, member of the alliance, explains the impetus for the protests: the AfD contradicts the basic democratic values.

This new assessment of the BFV, which offers a legal framework for more intensive observation measures rescue, is in the context of an increase in right -wing extremist activities in Germany. In 2023, a total potential of 40,600 right -wing extremist persons was identified, which represents an increase of 1,800 compared to the previous year.

These figures illustrate the continued pressure that comes from the right -wing extremist scene on social stability.
