AfD: Germany defends extremist classification after Rubio slams 'tyranny in disguise'
www.bbc.co.uk
Germany's foreign office says history shows that right-wing extremism "needs to be stopped", after criticism from the White House.

US Vice-President JD Vance accused “bureaucrats” of rebuilding the Berlin Wall, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed the designation as “tyranny in disguise”.

In an unusual move, the foreign office directly replied to Rubio on X, writing: “We have learnt from our history that right-wing extremism needs to be stopped.”

        And in defense of my annoyance at the CxU, under Merkel they supported the Orbán regime heavily to undercut their domestic labour with artificially inflated Hungarian labourers.
