6:42Now PlayingThe German intelligence service has classified the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as a “right-wing extremist” group.
The AfD is the second-largest party in the country and has been supported by the likes of Elon Musk in recent months.
This new policy will make the AfD subject to greater and broader surveillance of its activities.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution found that the party does not consider people with "a migration history from predominantly Muslim countries to be equal members of the German people" based on ethnicity.
The office, which has warned of growing extremism in Germany, cited court decisions in two German regions in recent years that detailed party efforts to undermine a free and democratic order.
Matt Frei is joined by Politico's John Kampfner to discuss the latest development.
