German intelligence classifies AfD youth wing as 'extremist'

April 26, 2023

Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) has reclassified the far-right Alternative for Germany's (AfD) youth wing as an extremist entity that threatens democracy, it said on Wednesday.

The domestic spy agency began monitoring the Young Alternatives organization for suspected extremism in 2019, but it will now be monitored as a confirmed case of right-wing extremism.
