Some AfD regional associations are already "suspected cases" for the protection of the constitution.
Now things could get serious for the entire party.
In Berlin, a leak in the secret service causes an uproar.
Update from January 24th, 7:10 p.m.:
A paper by the
Berlin Office for the Protection of the Constitution on the AfD was
pierced to the right-wing populist party of all people (see previous update) - now there are the first personnel consequences for the
secret service
.
The head of the right-wing extremism division has been released from his duty, reports the
Tagesspiegel
.
In addition, the "Working Group Control of the Protection of the Constitution" ensured technology.
It
is apparently still unclear
whether the man affected by the measure is actually responsible for the
leak
.
However, he is assessed as a "Maassen type", the paper claims to have learned.
To
Hans-Georg Maassen
, the former head of the
Federal Constitutional protection
it had also been trouble before its loss of power - partly because of reports of delicate talks with high-ranking politicians AFD.
AfD informant for the protection of the constitution?
Party defends itself against classification of suspected cases - scandal looms
Update from January 21, 10:00 p.m.: It
will be tight
for the
AfD
: the party could be
classified as a suspected case
by the
protection of the constitution
next week
.
But the right-wing populists want to defend themselves - and stir up a lot of dust in the process.
And probably not just in the intended way.
According to a report by the
Tagesspiegel
, the party accuses the
Berlin Senator for the Interior, Andreas Geisel
(SPD), of influencing an
opinion by
the local intelligence agency.
Its spokesman rejected this: Neither Geisel nor his State Secretary had knowledge of the internal paper, which allegedly stated that there were “no sufficient actual evidence” for a
suspicion of
the
Berlin AfD
.
In addition, the leaked document was not a final report, but an “ongoing, open-ended process” - in which methodological deficiencies were found.
But the volte raises completely different questions: How did the internal protection of the constitution get to the AfD?
The Senate Administration suspects an
informant
in the ranks of the
secret service
.
She announced a criminal complaint against unknown persons for "suspected treason".
Apparently heads should also roll.
Regardless of the report,
personal consequences
would be
drawn in the affected area of the state protection of the constitution, it said in a message.
AfD soon completely suspected?
Meuthen announces an appeal
Update from January 20, 3:55 p.m.:
The
AfD
wants to defend itself against the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
In an
interview with the
dpa
, the
party chairman
Jörg Meuthen
held out the
prospect of
a lawsuit because of the plan to
classify
the AfD as a
suspected case
: “If the BfV officially declares the AfD to be a suspected case, we will take
all legal
action against it - and
foreseeably successful
be.
Because the legal and factual prerequisites that are absolutely necessary for an observation are simply not available. ”Apparently, a
switch between the constitutional protection chiefs of the federal and state levels is
planned
for next Tuesday
.

First report from January 19:
Berlin - The
Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution
may be on the verge of
classifying
the entire
AfD
as a
suspected case
.
Constitutional Protection President Thomas Haldenwang
could make such a classification early next week and thus enable the observation of the AfD with intelligence means, reported the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
and the newspapers of the editorial network Germany (RND) on Tuesday.
If the AFD are classified as suspected cases, their could
members under surveillance and bugged
and
undercover agents
are used in their ranks.
Two years ago Haldenwang declared the AfD a so-called test case.
For the examination, the head of the protection of the constitution set himself a time window of two years, which has now expired.
AfD in the sights of the protection of the constitution: decision probably next week - Seehofer is informed
A state interior minister told the RND newspapers: “The decision will be made in the coming week.” There was “great agreement” on their outcome.
The determination in the Union is even greater than in the SPD - and
Interior Minister Horst Seehofer
(CSU) is "on board".
According to the reports, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution assumes that the influence of the right-wing extremist camp in the AfD has grown over the past two years.
In March 2020, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV)
upgraded
the “wing” that represents this camp from a suspected case to a
“proven extremist endeavor”
.
AfD may soon be a completely suspected case - "wing" resolution just "deception"?
The official dissolution of the "wing" in April 2020, which was led by the Brandenburg
right-wing extremist Andreas Kalbitz
, who is currently excluded from the AfD,
and the
Thuringian state chairman Björn Höcke
, according to reports, sees the constitutional protection as a deception, as the people are still in the AfD are active and structures continue to exist.
The AfD is likely to fight violently against their observation.
She could
file
an
emergency
appeal
with the administrative court against the classification as a suspected case
.
The
FDP interior expert Benjamin Strasser
said of the possible classification of the AfD: "If it really comes that way, I wouldn't be surprised." On Twitter, he wrote: "The right-wing extremists have had the say there for a long time." (
