(rt.com)AfD is now considered to have “confirmed right-wing extremist” aspirations, which is the highest tier of threat used by the BfV.
“I’m not interested in what the BfV claims,” AfD lawmaker Oliver Kirchner told MDR, calling the designation purely political. Kirchner pointed to a recent poll that showed AfD had 33% support in the state, one point ahead of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and far ahead of the ruling “traffic light coalition” parties.
The designation comes less than a month after the AfD made major gains in state elections in Bavaria, and Hesse in the west of Germany. Saxony-Anhalt, located in the former East Germany, is the second federal state to label its chapter of AfD as extremist, after nearby Thuringia did so in 2021.

JOE MANCHIN TO QUIT SENATE--POSSIBLY RUN FOR POTUS?
(Zh)In a setback for the Democratic Party's ambition to retain control of the US Senate after 2024, Senator Joe Manchin will not seek re-election next year, the centrist West Virginia Democrat announced on Thursday. At the same time, he raised the possibility of causing more mischief for the Democrats, as he also teased a potential independent bid for the White House.
Manchin's move will almost certainly deliver his senate seat to the Republicans. By one measure, West Virginia is the reddest state of all: In 2020, Trump won the Mountain State by a 38.9% margin, his biggest trouncing of Biden anywhere.
Even before Manchin's announcement, the Washington Post declared the "2024 Senate map is a GOP dream." Republicans need just a two-state pickup to take over the Senate -- unless America elects a Republican vice-president/Senate tie-breaker. In that latter scenario, taking West Virginia could be all they need, provided they can hold existing Republican seats. Montana Democrat Jon Tester is also in jeopardy.
