Young Alternative: SPD and Greens see verdict against AfD youth organization as a victory for democracy. "Today's decision clearly states that we are dealing with massive contempt for humanity, with racism, with hatred against Muslims and with attacks on our democracy," says Interior Minister Nancy Faeser.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had already classified the JA as a suspected case of right-wing extremism in 2019. The Higher Administrative Court will deal with the appeals from the AfD and the JA against this decision from March 12.
