About This Trend

Stillhaltezusage is a legal term in German law referring to a commitment by an authority to suspend certain actions until a legal decision is made. In this context, it involves the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), Germany's domestic intelligence agency.

The trend is currently prominent due to the BfV's decision to issue a Stillhaltezusage in a legal dispute with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) political party. This comes after the BfV classified the AfD as a confirmed right-wing extremist group, leading to ongoing legal challenges and public discourse about the implications for the party's status and activities. .
