US Secretary of State, Mark Rubio He condemned today, Friday, the decision of the German Federal Service to protect the Constitution (YPS) to describe the political party for Germany (AFD) as “proven right extremist organization”, describing the move “as”disguised tyranny » And advising the country to “reverse the course”.

“What is really extremist is not the popular AfD – which took second place in the recent elections – but rather the deadly open -borders of the establishment of the establishment, which opposes the AfD,” Rubio wrote in a post on X.

The decision, announced Friday by the Federal Protection Service of the German Constitution, gives the German authorities increased supervision on AfD. While some of the AFD branches at the state level have received the designation – as in Saxony and Thuringia – this is the first time in modern German history that a federal party has been characterized as an extremist party.

The party won a record number of 152 seats in Parliament in the Federal Elections of February and now holds 20.8% of the vote.

Following a three -year investigation into the party, the Federal Service for the Protection of the Constitution published a 1,000 -page report referring to violations of basic constitutional authorities, including human dignity and the rule of law.

Donald Trump and his narrow circle have largely supported AfD. It is recalled that AfD co -chairman, Alice Videl, was one of the many foreign leaders invited to attend Trump’s swearing -in, and Ilon Musk has shown constant support for the party and has spoken at an AFD election event in January.

“The ban on the center AfD, Germany’s most popular party, would be an extreme attack on the Republic,” Musk wrote in a post on X.
