The AfD in Saxony-Anhalt is the second state association of the party to be categorized as an extremist group, following that of the neighboring Thuringia.
BfV head Jochen Hollmann said his organization had now gathered extensive information that showed the association’s values were incompatible with human dignity, democracy, and the rule of law.
“The regional association not only continues to hold anti-constitutional positions that led to its classification as a suspected case, but has also become radicalized to such an extent since the coronavirus pandemic that systematic observation using intelligence service means is justified.”
The Saxony-Anhalt AfD aspires to create a “homogenous ethnocultural national population” and exclude others on the basis of race or religion, according to the BfV.
BfV boss Hollmann explained that the party actively applies itself to making politics and civic institutions appear ridiculous in a ploy to erode confidence in them.
“There is no doubt that the Saxony-Anhalt AfD is a right-wing extremist organization — it’s good that it has now been officially established,” said state Green Sebastian Siegel.
In March 2021, the regional party in the neighboring state of Thuringia was designated a far-right extremist group, along with its notorious firebrand leader Björn Höcke.
