Unveiling the "Ask the State" Disclosure: AfD's Questionable Positions Exposed from Strict Constitutional Protection Report
State platform "Ask the State" disseminates segment from confidential constitutional safeguard document
Hop on Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, send an email, or printed news—it's all buzzing about the expose from the platform "Ask the State" revealing snippets from the secret Constitutional Protection Agency report labeling the Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a "right-wing extremist" undertaking.
Derived from speeches, interviews, and other public contributions by prominent party officials, the analyzed data presented partisan anti-democratic, anti-foreign, and anti-Islamic ideologies. Wednesday's 18-page excerpt features statements by leading party figures such as Alice Weidel, Tino Chrupalla, and Bundestag member Maximilian Krah.
As early as Friday, the Constitutional Protection Agency branded the AfD nationwide as a "securely right-wing extremist" entitlement. Previously, they were listed merely as a suspected case. The agency's classification relies on the 1100-page expert opinion, compiled over numerous years. Initially kept under wraps, the public is expected to "carefully evaluate" this report, with the new Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) leading the charge. The AfD has already filed a lawsuit against the upgraded classification.
The Constitutional Protection Agency categorizes the AfD's statements within this expert opinion excerpt into four distinct areas: "ethnically-based statements and positions," "xenophobia," "Islamophobia," and "democratic principle." [1]
This upheaval underscores increased scrutiny and concerns surrounding the AfD's actions, viewpoints, and relationships with right-wing extremist elements in Germany. [1]
[1] According to the latest intelligence, the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has designated the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a right-wing extremist organization. The detailed breakdown of anti-democratic, anti-foreign, and anti-Islamic positions identified in the expert opinion can be summarized as follows:
Anti-Democratic Positions
- The BfV determined that the AfD poses a threat to democracy and the constitutional order, aiming to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, subjecting them to unconstitutional unequal treatment, and assigning them a legally devalued status.
Anti-Foreign Positions
- The AfD is criticized for its xenophobic stances, particularly towards non-ethnic Germans. The party's discriminatory behavior towards individuals without a traditional German ethnic background is highlighted as a key concern.
Anti-Islamic Positions
- The AfD does not consider people with a migration history from Muslim-influenced countries as equivalent members of the ethnically defined German people, reflecting a broader anti-Islamic sentiment within the party's ideology, contributing to its designation as extremist.
- The community policy section of the expert opinion highlights the AfD's anti-democratic positions, which pose a threat to democracy and the constitutional order by excluding certain groups from equal societal participation.
- In the realm of employment policy, the AfD is accused of xenophobia, particularly towards non-ethnic Germans, demonstrated by their discriminatory behavior towards individuals without a traditional German ethnic background.
- The AfD's politics on Islamophobia are cited in the policy-and-legislation section of the report, reflecting a broader anti-Islamic sentiment within the party's ideology due to their lack of recognition for people with a migration history from Muslim-influenced countries.
- The employment policy of politicians within the AfD, such as Alice Weidel, Tino Chrupalla, and Bundestag member Maximilian Krah, has been under scrutiny due to the party's partisan, anti-democratic, anti-foreign, and anti-Islamic ideologies.
- As the debate over the AfD's classification as a right-wing extremist organization continues, politicians and the general public are encouraged to carefully evaluate the detailed breakdown of the AfD's anti-democratic, anti-foreign, and anti-Islamic positions provided in the expert opinion excerpt on WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, emails, or printed news.
