00:00What does this mean for the AFD, who actually came second in recent elections in Germany and could it possibly raise support for the party?

00:11I think that's a really good question. Many people in Germany are now doing a victory lap and saying, well, now that, you know,

00:19they've been categorised by the Office for Constitutional Protection as a right-wing extremist, no one will vote for them.

00:27That's clearly not true. If you look at the states where they have been categorised as this before,

00:33they actually have come in first place in some of those with particularly extreme leaders.

00:38So the AFD has been very good at putting out its narrative that this is part of a, quote-unquote,

00:44deep state attempt to try and undermine the AFD. It's politically motivated interference in the democratic process.

00:53And the co-leaders called it a severe blow to democracy in Germany.

00:59So they are coming out and fighting against this.

01:02And I think people who've already decided that they're going to vote for the AFD,

01:07I don't think that this report will make that much difference,

01:12especially because the AFD can argue somewhat credibly that there are links between the ruling parties,

01:19the CDU in particular, and this organisation, right?

01:23So, what do you accept it?

01:25Which, when the AFD.

01:27What does the AFD do you intend to watch?

01:30Anyone who does not know who

01:32is saying you tell us that they don't want to preach?

01:36So you don't have to jump to that high quality.

01:39So I'm just thinking,

01:40the MR의를 has beenれて the past very soon.

01:42And I think you know,

01:43how are the prospects forան SAS machines think that you don't want whatever the planet?

01:47And I don't think that's worth it.
