In Germany's western city of Gelsenkirchen, the far-right AfD did well in this year's general election. Now the party hopes to win in local elections there. It's a nightmare scenario for many.
Partly right-wing extremist refers to the constitutional protection office’s assessment.
The AfD is classfied as a suspected case of far right extremism. This is the 2nd of three classifications, the last one is “confirmed right-wing extremist”. To be classified as a suspected case, there must be indications of right-wing extremism.
Therefore, the assessment “partially right-wing extremism” is factually correct. The AfD is not yet classified fully (or confirmed) right-wing extremist. That assessment must first be reviewed and confirmed by a judge since the AfD is currently suing against it.
