The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has filed a lawsuit against the country's agency tasked with protecting the constitution after it designated the party as "right-wing extremist" last Friday.
Daniel Tapp, a spokesperson for the AfD's co-leader Alice Weidel, told dpa news agency that a letter outlining this was sent to the responsible administrative court in Cologne.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) on Friday designated the AfD as a right-wing extremist organisation.
