A German court said on Monday that far-right party Alternative for Germany had filed a lawsuit challenging the domestic intelligence agency’s decision to classify it as an extremist organisation.
Excellent, I’m pretty sure the agency has evidence to back up their claim, so it’s almost 100% certain IMO that AfD will lose, and the claim will be confirmed in a court of law.
AfD is digging their own grave here.
Only if their base actually cares (and on the aggregate over time).
No that’s not what I mean, their base probably doesn’t give a shit. But if they lose the case, it validates the report more than the agency can ever do themselves, and it can be used against AfD in other situations too. It may also justify it for parliament to ban the party.
