The AfD has been legally designated as a right-wing extremist suspect by German intelligence, a decision upheld by the court.

The court's ruling allows continued surveillance of the AfD, affirming concerns over anti-democratic aims and discrimination.

Despite plans to appeal, the AfD faced significant legal setbacks with their motions largely rejected during the trial.

CDU member Marco Wanderwitz supports the court's ruling and advocates for a ban on the AfD across Germany.

Wanderwitz is seeking legislative support for a ban proposal, citing the party's promotion of hate and extremism.

There is hesitation within the CDU regarding a ban, but Wanderwitz senses a growing momentum for action against the AfD.

The proposed ban aims to limit the AfD's influence and resources, amid continued stability and spread of extremist ideologies.
