Germany Declares AfD ‘Extremist’; Rubio, Musk SLAMS Move as ‘Tyranny and Assault’ on Democracy
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.
The Trump administration’s new “Catch & Revoke” visa policy allows authorities to Strip foreign nationals—including students—of their visas for even minor infractions. Introduced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the directive cracks down on foreign students allegedly supporting Hamas or joining campus protests. Civil liberties groups are alarmed, calling the rule vague and prone to abuse. Legal challenges are already underway, while Trump’s allies claim it's vital for national security. Universities, meanwhile, are facing new scrutiny over foreign funding and political ties under expanded America First reforms.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Ukraine cannot force Russia to retreat to its 2014 borders, signaling a potential shift in Washington's support. He added that Ukraine may accept territorial losses de facto as part of a future peace deal. With demands between Kiev and Moscow still far apart, Rubio warned the U.S. may soon reconsider its role as peace broker. He stressed that China and Iran now pose more pressing threats. Moscow maintains any settlement must include Ukrainian neutrality and recognition of its newly integrated regions.

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.
