@nobullyplz @sickburnbro Any solid sources on what exactly is happening? One I saw said "withdraw public statement" about the AfD, did not go into a change about the agency determination behind the statement on their web page etc.
I mean, secret police are going to secret police, right? The public announcement was of course mostly if not entirely for political reasons.
As for causes, at a certain point the public has to be listened to or brutally repressed, the US keeps hitting them as I've posted on and has some big sticks if it chooses to use them, and don't forget how the new chancellor became the first in history to not get a first round absolute majority vote from the legislature, is "damaged goods."
The people did not vote for the Left this time around, but that's what they're getting since the "center Right" refuses to even talk to the AfD and thus had to make their coalition with one of the old Traffic Light parties.
