In a significant legal decision, a German court has ordered the country's intelligence agencies to pause labeling the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a far-right extremist group. The ruling comes as the case over the AfD's extremist designation awaits a final judicial ruling.
The AfD, a right-wing populist party, has long been a subject of controversy in Germany. Authorities have been seeking to place the party under increased surveillance due to concerns over extremist tendencies within its ranks.
