A German court has ruled in favor of Bavaria’s domestic intelligence agency, confirming the legality of its continued surveillance of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The AfD had legally challenged the surveillance, arguing it was unwarranted. However, the Administrative Court of the Free State of Bavaria rejected the party’s appeal. The court’s decision affirms the agency’s assessment that there are sufficient indications to suggest the AfD’s goals and actions are anti-constitutional. This surveillance allows authorities to monitor the party’s activities and members. The ruling represents a significant setback for the AfD, which has sought to distance itself from extremist elements within its ranks. The party may pursue further legal challenges, but the court’s decision currently stands.
