“The designation of the AfD as an extremist party is a political, not a legal verdict. It is not a decision of the Supreme Court but of the internal intelligence services under the Ministry of the Interior led by Nancy Faeser, who made this decision days before she had to leave office after the defeat of the SPD. This happened on May 2nd, and the following week, with the election of Friedrich Merz as the new Chancellor, Faeser ceased to be Minister, so the political intentionality of this affair is evident. The report of the internal secret services was not sent to us beforehand, so we did not know what we were accused of, however, it was sent to several newspapers in order to generate a scandal. Now we have it and we have seen that these are public opinions, such as tweets or speeches, that is, there is nothing secret, and that they are also covered by freedom of speech; there is nothing criminal in those opinions. For example, I am mentioned in the report for tweeting “#Alice for Germany.“ That’s ridiculous. There is nothing extremist, there is truth and common sense.”
