Germany's Far-Right AfD Launches New Youth Wing

Germany's Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has started a new youth organization. Security experts predict the new group will be as radical as the party's previous youth wing. German security authorities had officially declared the earlier group a right-wing extremist organization. This official designation means the state views the group as a threat to the country's democratic constitution. The AfD's new youth organization is now expected to become a training ground for the party's future members. It will aim to recruit and politically educate young Germans who share the party's views.
