Unveiling the "Ask the State" Leak: A Glimpse into the hidden Constitutional Protection Report on AfD
"State secrecy document extract released by platform 'Ask the State'"
Share on Social Media Forward to Email Print Copy Link A bombshell has been dropped by "Ask the State" platform - they've published a juicy excerpt from the previously hush-hush 1100-page constitutional protection agency report on the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
This leak has turned heads, as it analyzed publicly accessible materials such as speeches, interviews and other contributions from key party leaders, revealing a mix of anti-democratic, xenophobic, and Islamophobic viewpoints.
Among the revelations, you'll find statements from party heavyweights Alice Weidel, Tino Chrupalla, and Bundestag member Maximilian Krah. This 18-page excerpt, unveiled on Wednesday, has ignited a spark of controversy.
Since last Friday, the constitutional protection agency has categorized AfD nationwide as a "secured right-wing extremist endeavor", a significant upgrade from its previous "suspected case" status. The decision is based on the 1100-page expert opinion, compiled over several years and, until now, kept under wraps. New Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU) has promised this report will now undergo a thorough evaluation.
The constitutional protection agency classifies the AfD's statements from the expert opinion in four main areas: "ethnically-based statements and positions", "xenophobia", "Islamophobia", and "democratic principle".
While more details are expected to emerge in the future as the full report gets scrutinized, this leak offers a chilling glimpse into the AfD's hidden extreme right-wing tendencies.
