The Saxon Higher Administrative Court has upheld the classification of the AfD as a far-right extremist party, rejecting its appeal. This allows Saxony's Office for the Protection of the Constitution to categorize the local AfD organization as right-wing extremist, citing its positions as contrary to democratic principles and an attack on human dignity. The court's decision is final, with no further legal recourse available for the AfD, which faces similar designations in other German states and is under investigation by the federal domestic intelligence agency.
