The recent ban on the far-right magazine "Compact" has raised concerns about the future of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (Verfassungsschutz) is considering classifying the AfD as an extremist group, especially following revelations of a planned attack on a government official linked to the party.

In Thüringen, authorities are taking steps to disarm AfD members, citing a "combative-aggressive" stance within the party, particularly under the leadership of hardliner Björn Höcke.

This internal analysis could reignite discussions about a potential ban on the AfD, as officials aim to address the growing threat of right-wing extremism in Germany.

The situation remains tense as the government intensifies its efforts against radical elements within the political landscape.
