US Secretary of State Rubio says Germany is a 'tyranny in disguise' after AfD verdict

Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics.

Germany’s Left Party co-leader Jan van Aken has reignited calls to replace NATO with a new peace and defense alliance that includes both the US and Russia. Arguing that NATO has “no future,” van Aken suggested a cooperative structure similar to the OECD. He also urged the withdrawal of US troops and nuclear arms from Germany. While his party dreams of a demilitarized Europe, Germany continues supplying arms to Ukraine, raising tensions with Moscow. The proposal lands amid rising debate over Europe’s military role and NATO's long-term relevance.
