Germany Declares AfD ‘Extremist’; Rubio, Musk SLAMS Move as ‘Tyranny and Assault’ on Democracy [Video]

Germany Declares AfD ‘Extremist’; Rubio, Musk SLAMS Move as ‘Tyranny and Assault’ on Democracy

Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics. #Germany #AfD #Rubio #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #Surveillance #Politics #EuropeNews #Democracy #Tyranny #Immigration #Nationalism #MarcoRubio #BfV #BreakingNews #GermanElections #ChancellorMerz #Opposition #CivilRights #AfDUnderWatch

Germany’s Friedrich Merz Secures Chancellor Seat in Dramatic Second Round Reversal; AfD Furious

Friedrich Merz has secured the chancellorship of Germany in a dramatic second-round vote, overcoming a shocking first-round defeat earlier in the day. With 325 votes in his favor, Merz surpassed the required 316 majority, averting a constitutional crisis. His unexpected first-round loss, which marked the first time in postwar history a chancellor candidate failed to win, had sent shockwaves through German politics. The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has expressed outrage at Merz’s victory, demanding his resignation and calling for fresh elections. #FriedrichMerz #MerzForChancellor #CDULeader #GermanyElections #MerzLive #FriedrichMerzSpeech #ChancellorMerz #GermanyPolitics #FriedrichMerzCDU #Merz2025 #WhoIsFriedrichMerz #FriedrichMerzInterview #GermanyChancellorRace #MerzAnnouncement #MerzVsAfD #Germany ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~GR.124~

Germany in Turmoil | Friedrich Merz Fails To Become Chancellor In Embarrassing Parliamentary Defeat

In a stunning and unprecedented setback, Germany's conservative leader Friedrich Merz has failed to secure the majority needed to become chancellor in the first round of parliamentary voting — missing by just six votes. The defeat marks the first time since World War II that a chancellor candidate has fallen short on the initial ballot. As political uncertainty grips Berlin, coalition talks intensify and fresh elections loom as a possibility. The failed bid comes amid economic stagnation, the far-right AfD’s rise, and global pressure on Germany’s next leader. #FriedrichMerz #MerzForChancellor #CDULeader #GermanyElections #MerzLive #FriedrichMerzSpeech #ChancellorMerz #GermanyPolitics #FriedrichMerzCDU #Merz2025 #WhoIsFriedrichMerz #FriedrichMerzInterview #GermanyChancellorRace #MerzAnnouncement #MerzVsAfD
