AfD “secured right-wing extremist”: CDU senator Felor Badenberg sees herself confirmed
According to the protection of the constitution, the entire AfD is a “secured right -wing extremist endeavor”. This assessment has a lot of approval from other German parties.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has been classifying the AfD since Friday as “secured right -wing extremist endeavor”. The reason is “the human dignity, extremist characteristics of the entire party,” said the Federal Office in Cologne. The authority comes to this conclusion “after intensive and extensive expert examination”. Among other things, this took into account statements in the Bundestag election campaign and before the three state elections in East Germany.
Badenberg (CDU): Effects on possible party ban
From the other parties, positive reactions to the classification of the AfD come as “secure right -wing extremist”. Berlin’s Justice Senator Felor Badenberg (CDU) welcomes the classification of the entire AfD as secured right -wing extremist. The high level of the party by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had an impact on a possible ban on party. Badenberg told that star: “A party ban procedure is not necessarily the result of this classification.” The decision on the introduction “lies with the constitutional organs entitled to the application and is a political decision,” said the ex-constitution protector. “The classification of the protection of the constitution will play an important role in this.”
Badenberg itself once had promoted the AfD classification as a right-wing extremist suspicion in the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution and was recently its vice president. “The suspicion has been confirmed: The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the AfD as secured right -wing extremist.”

[…]
The AfD is one for our democracy and our rule of law as a whole. From German history we know how terrible the circumstances can develop when right -wing extremists, nationalists and democracy beings attack parliamentary democracy and come into political responsibility. “
