Germany rebuked Secretary of State Marco Rubio after he slammed the country’s intelligence agency for classifying the far-right political party Alternative for Germany a “proven-right wing extremist organization.”
“We have learnt from our history that right-wing extremism needs to be stopped,” Germany’s foreign office wrote on X, in direct reply to Rubio.
AfD, whose staunch supporters include JD Vance and Elon Musk, was already under surveillance for suspected extremism by Germany’s intelligence services, which on Friday classified the party as a “proven right-wing extremist organization.”
I’m talking about Trump because there is a strong parallelism between all of these cases, where fascists break the law and then cry political persecution when the courts apply the law to them.
Trump was the example of what not to do, Le Pen seems to be the example of what works.
