On Monday, a German high court upheld the classification of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a 'suspected extremist' organization. This ruling allows Germany's domestic intelligence agency to continue surveillance and investigation of the party and its members. The court's decision supports the agency's ongoing monitoring of the AfD as a potential threat to democracy, affirming its status as a potentially extremist party.
