The AFD has brought an action for the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution as the designation of the party as a right-wing-edition organization.
On Monday, the alternative to Germany (AfD) filed an action for the Federal Authority for the Protection of the Constitution (BFV) for identifying it as a demonstrably right-wing-edition organization last week. This was confirmed by a spokesman for Alice Weidel, a spokesman for the party, TASR writes according to DPA report.
The filing of the action is in accordance with the announced AFD plan that if the German civil counter -intelligence by Monday 08:00. It did not comply with the parties to the parties to re -evaluate the declaration, the party’s leadership will turn to court.
A dispute over the label
AFD in Friday’s call claims that its classification as “a demonstrably right—anxemist organization” and the announcement of this fact are obviously illegal. BFV confirmed that he was challenged, but refused to comment on the matter.
According to BFV, there is currently concrete evidence that this anti -immigration party is making efforts that threaten the democratic order of Germany and that its understanding of the German nation as a nation based on ethnicity and origin is incompatible with this order.
The action and legal steps
According to Bild, the law firm Höcker filed an action on behalf of the AFD management, according to the daily Bild, the Höcker law firm in Cologne, where BFV is also located. Until the last week, this office only classified the AfD as “suspected of extremist activity”. The party, which is described as far right, failed in court.
The Höcker office requires that the AfD not be classified, monitored and investigated as ‘demonstrably right-wing-ethrhemist organization’. The AfD wants to achieve this by a temporary court order until the judgment was filed.
