AfD: Germany defends extremist classification after Rubio slams 'tyranny in disguise'
www.bbc.co.uk
Germany's foreign office says history shows that right-wing extremism "needs to be stopped", after criticism from the White House.

US Vice-President JD Vance accused “bureaucrats” of rebuilding the Berlin Wall, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed the designation as “tyranny in disguise”.

In an unusual move, the foreign office directly replied to Rubio on X, writing: “We have learnt from our history that right-wing extremism needs to be stopped.”

    Beatrix von Storch, […] told […] the designation was “the way an authoritarian state, a dictatorship, would treat their parties”.

    No Beatrix, an authoritarian state would not let an federal authority create a 1000 pages expert report, but instead just put you and your friends into prison to die without giving any good reasons.

      And let all of the J6 criminals out of jail in his own country. It’s obvious who and what is being supported. Rubio is a Nazi.
