The Dresden Administrative Court has rejected the urgent appeal by the AfD Saxony against its classification as a secured right-wing extremist organization. The court stated that there were sufficient factual indications that the applicant was pursuing efforts that were directed against the human dignity of certain groups of people and against the principle of democracy.
The State Office for the Protection of the Constitution (LfV) had classified the Saxon state association of the AfD as a "confirmed right-wing extremist organization" in December 2023.
The parties involved can appeal against the decision at the Higher Administrative Court in Bautzen.
