Germany to spy on far-right AfD party, reports say
Germany's intelligence สูตรเด็ดเล่นสล็อต ให้ได้เงิน services have designated the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a suspected extremist
group, according to local media.
The nationalist party is already under surveillance in a number of German states, but the decision means its activities can be observed
nationwide.
However, MPs and members of the European parliament will be excluded from any operations.
The intelligence services have not publicly commented on the reports.
An AfD spokeswoman described the decision as "purely political" and said the party would take legal action against
the "unjustified classification".
If confirmed, it would be the first time in post-war history that a political party with seats in the national parliament has received
the designation.
Formed in 2013, the openly anti-Islam and anti-establishment AfD is Germany's largest opposition party in parliament. Its popularity
surged in 2015 after almost one million migrants entered Germany.
The party faced particular criticism over its anti-immigrant rhetoric following a deadly far-right attack in the city of Hanau in early 2020,
although it was not accused of direct involvement and publicly condemned the shootings.
Reports that Germany's domestic intelligence service (BfV) was expected to classify the AfD as a "suspected case" of right-wing extremism
first emerged earlier this year.
However, a decision was delayed by ongoing legal challenges by the AfD, which argues that the move is political and could harm its
chances in federal elections in September.
