The AfD Saxony has filed a lawsuit against the classification as a right-wing extremist organization by the state constitution protection agency. At the same time, the party wants to force the release of a corresponding report by the constitutional protectors. The document is "bizarrely" classified, said party leader Jörg Urban in Dresden on Friday. We are living in a situation where the AfD is figuratively being called a robber without being told who it robbed, when and where. This is not acceptable.
The AfD had already announced legal action against the categorization shortly before Christmas. Now it has announced that it has done so. Lawyer Joachim Keiler, Vice State Chairman of the AfD in Saxony, presented the confirmation of receipt from the Dresden Administrative Court. In addition, the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution is to be prohibited by temporary injunction from describing the Saxony AfD as "definitely right-wing extremist" until the report is published. "We know that there are no extremists among our members," said Urban.
