- (General Dispatch) – The German intelligence will be allowed to investigate the “Alternative for Germany” party, for apparently being an extremist group, being its ideology national-conservative and Eurosceptic.
- According to sources, the Federal Office for the Constitution addressed to the German intelligence, and warned that there is a case of right-wing extremism that can affect the democratic order of the country.
- With this information the afd has been allowed to carry out espionage through moles called “V men” who have come to intercept phone calls and any confidential information of the right-wing party.
- The “populist anti-migration mass-migration” party has seen this type of actions as a serious violation of its rights and has taken the matter to court. The complaint is currently in process and no response has yet been issued.
- Alice Weidel, leader of the AfD group in the federal parliament, said that the BFV has involved only political issues, the situation has been tense due to the upcoming state and federal elections.
- The BFV had previously declared that it would not take any action against the party while it was on trial at the administrative court in Cologne.
- Markus Frohnmaier said “The Office for the Protection of the Constitution has promised the courts that it will remain silent until a decision is made in the ongoing proceedings. Now, the BfV has leaked to the media that the AfD is suspect.”
- The right-wing political party claims that they are the victim of foul play by the state just two weeks before state elections are due to be held in the country.
