Bundeswehr: Military counterintelligence service defuses reporting requirements for AfD supporters. Military Counterintelligence Service recently asked the troops to immediately report membership in AfD organizations classified as right-wing extremist.

According to SPIEGEL information, this had to be significantly toned down. In the current version, the corresponding membership will only be disclosed in the course of an “upcoming security check” As a rule, security checks for soldiers are renewed every three years. It is not known how many soldiers are members of classified regional associations of the AfD or the JA.
