German court backs AfD's suspected-extremist status
By Damien McGuinness
The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is officially suspected of extremism, a German court has ruled.
In other words, the court suspects large parts of the AfD of wanting to create a two-tier society, where people judged to be “ethnically German” would have more rights than people whose families originally came from abroad.
The AfD denies that it is anti-democratic. Party leaders reject the ruling, accusing the judges of not providing enough evidence for their decision.
