Get a glimpse of the explosive debate surrounding the far-right party, AfD, with the recent publication of an extract from a secret 1100-page expert opinion report by the constitutional protection agency. The "Ask the State" platform excerpt sheds light on the party's controversial positions, drawing attention to ethnically-charged statements, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and democratic principles.
The controversial report delves into speeches, interviews, and other contributions from prominent party representatives, including Alice Weidel, Tino Chrupalla, and Maximilian Krah. The 18-page excerpt made public on Wednesday highlights the party's questionable ideologies and actions.
Following Friday's announcement by the constitutional protection agency, classifying AfD as a "securely right-wing extremist endeavor", the party swiftly filed a lawsuit against the decision. The agency's classification had previously listed the party as a mere suspicion case, with the recent designation being the more severe consequence.
The entire 1100-page expert opinion serves as the foundation for this upgrade. The document, collected over a lengthy period, has not yet been published, with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) vowing to conduct a thorough evaluation of this information.
In the excerpt published by "Ask the State", the party's statements are categorized into four areas: ethnically-based statements and positions, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and democratic principles. These categories offer a sobering picture of the party's dubious stance on various topics.
Ethnically-based statements and positions: The AfD has faced criticism for advocating discriminatory policies towards non-ethnic Germans, and allegedly working to exclude certain groups from equal participation in society.
Xenophobia: The party's rhetoric often targets immigrants and people of diverse backgrounds, with a particular focus on those from Muslim-dominant countries.
Islamophobia: While specific evidence is lacking in the published excerpt, the party's stance on Muslims has been questioned, with suspicions that the AfD sees people with a migration history from Muslim-influenced countries as unequal members of the ethnically defined German society.
Democratic Principle: The AfD has been criticized for undermining democratic principles by subjecting certain groups to unequal treatment, resulting in a potential threat to the constitutional order in Germany.
The AfD's leadership has countered these claims, alleging that the designation is politically motivated and not yet legally binding.
