Germany's spy agency BfV has labeled the entirety of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as an extremist entity, APA reports citing DW.
The BfV domestic intelligence agency, which is in charge of safeguarding Germany's constitutional order, said the announcement comes after an "intense and comprehensive" examination.
"The ethnicity- and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order," the BfV said on Friday.
"It aims to exclude certain population groups from equal participation in society, to subject them to treatment that violates the constitution, and thereby assign them a legally subordinate status."
Faeser: AfD treats citizens with foreign roots as 'second-class Germans'
In a separate statement, outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said the party was running a campaign against democratic order.
"The AfD represents an ethnic concept that discriminates against entire population groups and treats citizens with a history of migration as second-class Germans," outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement on Friday.
"Their ethnic attitude is reflected in racist statements, especially against immigrants and Muslims," she added.
