Marco Rubio Condemns Germany’s Surveillance of Alternative for Germany Party

In a recent move that has drawn international scrutiny, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio criticized Germany for its ongoing actions against the opposition party, Alternative for Germany (AfD). This critique comes on the heels of Germany’s intelligence agency, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), officially labeling the AfD as a “proven right-wing extremist organization.” This classification stems from the party’s resistance to mass immigration and its challenge to progressive ideologies.

The BfV’s designation marks a significant transition from mere suspicion to an active designation, allowing for enhanced governmental oversight. While the AfD is not banned from participating in elections, this new status empowers authorities to monitor the party more intensively, including deploying undercover agents and intercepting communications—all under the watchful eyes of the judiciary.

Rubio took to the X platform to voice his concerns, characterizing the German government’s actions as “tyranny in disguise.” In his post, he stated:

Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That’s not democracy—it’s tyranny in disguise.

What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes.

Germany should reverse course.

In response, the German Foreign Office defended its actions, framing them as a necessary measure to uphold democracy. Their statement subtly invoked historical lessons from Nazi Germany:

This is democracy. This decision is the result of a thorough & independent investigation to protect our Constitution & the rule of law.

It is independent courts that will have the final say. We have learnt from our history that rightwing extremism needs to be stopped.

The ongoing tension highlights a broader struggle within German politics where the ruling coalition has long engaged in a campaign perceived as intimidation against the AfD. Despite finishing second in the recent federal elections, the AfD found itself thwarted from forming a government by a coalition that some critics label as globalist.

Earlier this year, members of the ruling Social Democratic Party (SPD) even debated the possibility of outright banning the AfD, a move that many observers argue undermines their professed commitment to democratic principles. Alice Weidel, co-leader of the AfD, remarked:

Calls for the AfD to be banned are completely absurd and expose the anti-democratic attitude of those making these demands. The repeated calls for a ban show that the other parties have long since run out of substantive arguments against our political proposals.

This situation raises critical questions about the balance between national security and democratic freedoms. While the German government cites the need to combat extremism, the implications of such surveillance can lead to chilling effects on free speech and political dissent, reminiscent of tactics employed during less democratic eras.
