“Today, bureaucrats are trying to destroy AFD. »» The administration of Donald Trump is upwind against the decision of German internal intelligence to classify AFD as a movement “Convenient right -wing extremist”. The second German party, alternative to Germany (AFD), is indeed in the viewfinder of the Office for the protection of the Constitution. This government agency judges that AFD is “Overall hostile to migrants and Muslims” And “Devaluates whole groups of the population in Germany”.
A “disguised tyranny”
If the concrete consequences of such a classification are not specified, AFD could risk a ban, which in recent months brandish German political leaders. Enough to make jump across the Atlantic. “AFD is the most popular party in Germany and by far the most representative in East Germany. Today, bureaucrats are trying to destroy it ”castigates the American vice-president, JD Vance, on X. “The West has demolished the Berlin Wall together. And it was rebuilt – not by the Soviets or the Russians, but by the German establishment ”he wrote in the same message.
The American secretary of state, Marco Rubio, sees it as “Disguised tyranny”: “Germany has just provided its intelligence agency with new powers to monitor the opposition. It is not democracy, it is disguised tyranny. »» According to him, extremism is not linked to AFD, “Arrived second in the last elections”he recalls, but “Rather to murderous immigration policies, focused on the opening of borders, to which AFD is opposed”. “Germany should change course”said Marco Rubio.
This is not the first time that the government of Donald Trump has supported AFD. Elon Musk has done many times in recent times. The Minister of Government Efficiency called to vote for AFD during the campaign in the legislative elections last February, to the point of being accused by the German government and part of the Europe of interference.
