Hamburg (dpa / lno) - The AfD Hamburg has criticized the classification of the entire party as a suspected right-wing extremist case by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution as “clearly politically motivated”.
This decision a few days before the state elections in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate is legally open to attack, "and we will exhaust all legal means," announced Hamburg's AfD boss Dirk Nockemann on Wednesday.
"This instrumentalization of the secret service is unbearable and a danger to our democracy."
The "slouch hats" made themselves the agents of politics and the media, criticized Nockemann.
"The AfD as a political opponent should be eliminated by all means, but they will not succeed."
The President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, had previously informed the state offices for the protection of the constitution according to dpa information on Wednesday in an internal video conference about the classification of the AfD.
Due to ongoing legal proceedings, the Federal Office is currently not making public statements on the question of the AfD's assessment.
First, the «Spiegel» reported on the decision.
