“The rightwing populist party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) is to be spied on by Germany’s intelligence agency under suspicion of posing a threat to democracy, according to media reports.
The Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV) agency is now able by law to monitor the phones of AfD members and spy on its activities as a suspected extreme rightwing organisation, following a decision that the party argues could affect its chances in the autumn federal elections. It is currently the largest opposition party in parliament.
A longstanding legal wrangle with the party means the BfV is not able to officially announce the decision.”
