Berlin - BERLIN (AP) - Germany's foreign ministry criticized the counterattack against U.S. Secretary of State Rubio after its decision to classify the German party's alternative as a "right-wing extremist" group.

On Friday, spit deepened, getting involved in the Foreign Ministry, Rubio, U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Tech billionaire Elon Musk. This also happened in a complex period in Germany, just days before the 80th anniversary of the unconditional vote of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II and the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany.

Additionally, a coalition agreement between the central right and the center-left parties has just been approved, and now parliament will vote next week to elect Conservative leader Friedrich Merz as the country's new prime minister.

Myers has not publicly commented on the intelligence department’s decision.

The German Federal Office for Protecting the Constitution describes the party known as the AFD as a threat to the country's democratic order, saying it "ignores human dignity", especially due to "ongoing incitement" against refugees and immigrants.

German domestic intelligence agencies classified the AFD as second in the national elections in February, as right-wing extremist groups mean that their officials can now use informants and other tools such as audio and video brings to monitor their national activities.

But it also has the potential to promote the party's claims on political persecution. The far-right parties have been taking huge stances throughout Europe, while the U.S. Congress has attracted international attention, including support from Musk, an allies of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Party leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla condemned the move on Friday as a “serious blow to German democracy”, given that the party has developed into one of the country’s most popular political forces. They claimed it was politically motivated, which the government denied.

"The AFD will continue to defend these democratic slander in law," they said.

The AFD's second place during the election consolidates the party's position as a factor that other politicians cannot ignore, but the so-called "firewall" is the mainstream of mainstream German parties opposing cooperation with far-right parties.

Rubio called on Germany to revoke the classification in a post on Friday.

"Germany just gave new powers to monitor the opposition. That's not democracy - disguise is tyranny." "The real extremist is not the popular AFD, which ranks second in recent elections, but the agency's deadly open border immigration policy, which the AFD opposed. Germany should reverse the path."

The Foreign Ministry wrote “This is democracy” in a post that directly responded to Rubio.

“This decision is a complete result and Independent investigation to protect our constitution and The Foreign Ministry wrote on Friday afternoon. "The Independent Court will have the final say. We have learned from history that right-wing extremism needs to stop."

Meanwhile, Vance mentioned the Cold War in his post on X.

"The AFD is Germany's most popular party and by far the most representative party in East Germany. Now, bureaucrats are trying to destroy it," Vance wrote. "Together the West demolished the walls of Berlin. It was rebuilt by the Soviet Union or Russians, but by German institutions."

Musk, who owns X, reposted Vance's comment, adding: "Fate loves irony."

Vance met Weidel next to the Munich Security Conference nine days before the national election. He attacked the firewall during his speech at the meeting.

“For many of us, on the other side of the Atlantic, it looks increasingly like the old entrenched interests, hidden behind ugly Soviet-era words like false information and false information, they don’t like people with another view that might express another view that people might express another view that, or, God forbids, votes, or worse, wins elections, wins elections, wins elections, he told the audience.”

Musk has been supporting AFD for months, including a chat with Weidel, who played on X earlier this year to expand the party’s message. Musk told Weidel that he "strongly advises people to vote for the AFD."
