Founded in 2013 as an anti-European Union party, AfD has since radicalized and become an extremist, anti-immigrant party whose aim is “to eliminate the free democratic basic order,” according to a 2023
report by the German Institute for Human Rights.
The German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (
Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz or BfV), its domestic intelligence agency which monitors extremist threats to Germany’s democracy, has listed AfD as an officially suspected extremist organization and classified its youth wing, “Young Alternative,” as extremist in April 2023. The state-level BfV offices in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia have gone a step further and classified the AfD party as a whole as extremist.
Björn Höcke, leader of the AfD party in the state of Thuringia, has twice been
fined by a German court for using a banned Nazi slogan. The phrase, “Everything for Germany” (“Alles für Deutschland”) was a slogan of the Nazi stormtroopers and
engraved on their daggers….called for Germany to stop atoning for Nazi crimes and make a "180-degree turn" in how it remembers its past.
Gauland also
said in 2017 that Germans should be “proud of the achievements of German soldiers in two world wars.”
Höcke has engaged in extremist speech to the extent that a judge ruled that he could be described as a
fascist without fear of a defamation suit, because such a description was a “value judgment based on facts.”
AfD leaders have also threatened to deport German citizens of non-ethnic-German heritage.
In its 2017 election manifesto, AfD asserted that the presence of Muslims in Germany was a threat to the country: “Islam does not belong in Germany. The AfD sees the spread of Islam and the presence of over 5 million Muslims, whose numbers are constantly growing, as a great danger to our state, our society and our system of values.”

AfD members were exposed as participants in a November 2023 secret meeting of far-right extremists in Potsdam, including Austrian neo-Nazi
Martin Sellner, who discussed a
mass deportation plan for foreigners and "non-assimilated" Germans, as part of AfD’s strategy should it be elected to govern Germany.
Following the exposure of the secret meeting, AfD politicians initially denied participating, but just weeks later began actively
campaigning with the slogan, “remigration,” which was the term used at the meeting for the mass deportation plan.
