The Berlin AfD concluded a cooperation agreement with the Vienna FPÖ during a retreat in Vienna on Tuesday. As the Freedom Party informed the APA, the agreement is intended to contribute to the "freedom-conservative renewal." In the long term, they aim to establish a network of like-minded cities in Europe. This network is intended to strengthen and further develop freedom-oriented standards of urban policy, according to the pact.

Constitutional Protection Classified AfD as Right-Wing Extremist

The Alternative for Germany (AfD) was classified in its entirety as "confirmed right-wing extremist" by the German constitutional protection in May. However, until the conclusion of a court case initiated by the far-right party, the domestic intelligence service treats it only as a "suspected right-wing extremist case." In the German Bundestag, the AfD represents the largest opposition faction.

"Currently, we are facing major challenges across Europe. Particularly the metropolitan areas are increasingly feeling the effects of illegal immigration that has been occurring for over ten years. Threats from terrorism, rising crime, and infrastructure not designed for this mass immigration are the symptoms that Berlin and Vienna are struggling with," stated Vienna FPÖ leader Dominik Nepp and Berlin AfD parliamentary group leader Kristin Brinker in a joint statement.

Nepp: AfD Reliable Partner

It is therefore all the more essential to network internationally and develop joint solutions. "With the AfD, we have a reliable partner to preserve our identity," Nepp expressed confidently. The agreement outlined specific areas in which they wish to intensify cooperation. For example, there will be regular exchanges on topics such as security, migration, education, or housing in the future.

Joint events or citizen dialogues are also to be organized. There are also plans to draft joint positions for public relations work. "Our cooperation follows a clear guiding principle: freedom, order, and personal responsibility - instead of patronizing political experiments, multicultural utopias, and ideological appropriation of city politics," the contract states.
