About This Trend
Verfassungsschutz refers to the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Germany, the country's domestic security agency tasked with protecting the constitution and democratic order.
The trend is currently centered on the agency's recent classification of the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party as 'gesichert rechtsextremistisch' (proven right-wing extremist). This decision has sparked significant political and legal reactions, with the AfD filing a lawsuit against the classification and public debates ongoing about its implications.
