German Police Say AfD Membership Incompatible with Service

  • Germany's Federal Police Commissioner Uli Grtsch stated that AfD membership and police service are incompatible.
  • Grtsch based his stance on the domestic intelligence agency's early May classification of the AfD as a confirmed right-wing extremist group.
  • The agency has put the classification on hold while the AfD seeks legal recourse, but it still regards the party as a suspected extremist case awaiting a decision from the Cologne administrative court.
  • Grtsch said there is concrete evidence that the AfD threatens Germany's free democratic order and officers openly committed to it should be dismissed.
  • This position implies stricter scrutiny and possible dismissal of AfD-affiliated officers amid ongoing legal uncertainties about the party's status.
