About This Trend

Rechtsextrem refers to the far-right movement in Germany, particularly associated with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which has been classified as far-right by the German Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV).

The trend is currently prominent due to the BfV's recent official classification of the AfD as 'gesichert rechtsextrem' (confirmed far-right), sparking significant political debate and reactions from government officials and civil society. .
