Washington: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has harshly criticised Germany after its domestic intelligence agency described the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) an extremist entity that threatens democracy and called on the country to reverse course on its own domestic matter.
The top US diplomat described the move as “tyranny in disguise” and took aim at the US ally’s immigration policies.
“Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the Opposition. That’s not democracy—it’s tyranny in disguise,” he wrote in a post on X.
“What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies that the AfD opposes.” “Germany should reverse course,” Rubio added. (IANS)
