Germany's spy agency has classified the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as "extremist", enabling it to step up monitoring of the country's biggest opposition party ,which said the move as a "blow against democracy".⁣
⁣
Co-leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla have said that ‘The AfD will continue to take legal action against these defamatory attacks that endanger democracy,’ in a joint statement.⁣
⁣
In the German federal election, the AFD secured an unprecedented 20.8% of the vote, coming second in the election.⁣
⁣
But how did the AfD become so popular and who is Alice Weidel, the leader behind this popularity surge? ⁣
