The German National Intelligence Service has classified the extreme right alternative to Germany, which some surveys show how the most popular in the country, as an extremist party, announced the German authorities on Friday.The decision intensifies a dilemma for Germany on what to do with the party, known as AFD, whose leaders trivialized the holocaust, revived foreign Nazi and denigrated slogans, expanding as they expand their political base.The designation is certain that it inflames a long -standing debate that German legislators must move the party entirely.
