The AfD youth organization Junge Alternative has complained that the Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified it as “certainly right-wing extremist”.
Now the decision is there.
Karlsruhe – The AfD and its youth organization “Junge Alternative” have failed with a lawsuit.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution can continue to classify the Junge Alternative as definitely right-wing extremist.
This was decided by the Cologne Administrative Court.
The court announced on Tuesday (February 6) that evidence of anti-constitutional efforts by the Junge Alternative (JA) had become “certain” since a previous ruling regarding the classification as a suspected case.
The administrative court rejected an urgent application from the AfD and its youth organization.
AfD and Junge Alternative sued the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution
In 2019, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution initially classified the JA as a suspected case of right-wing extremism, and in 2023 it was classified as a confirmed right-wing extremist effort.
The AfD and the JA sued against it.
As justification, the court stated that the JA adhered to a “national concept of ethnic origin”.
A central political idea of the JA is the “preservation of the German people in their ethnic existence”.
The court found that this constituted a violation of human dignity.
Young alternatives are massively agitating against foreigners and democracy
In addition, the administrative court found massive xenophobic agitation by the JA, which was particularly directed against Islam and Muslims.
Asylum seekers and migrants are generally suspected and disparaged.
The court also explained that immigrants were described as “parasites and criminals”.

The JA continues to agitate against the principle of democracy at federal, state and district levels.
This is expressed, for example, in equating the Federal Republic with dictatorial regimes, in particular the Nazi regime and the GDR.
The JA also has contacts with associations that are classified as anti-constitutional, such as the Identitarian Movement.
A complaint can be lodged against the decision with the North Rhine-Westphalian Higher Administrative Court in Münster.
