The article discusses an incident where U.S. Senator J.D. Vance was publicly corrected by German Ambassador Andreas Michaelis regarding Vance's defense of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. Vance had described AfD as "a little bit more nationalist than is commonly accepted" and suggested that the party was unfairly labeled as Nazi-like. In response, Ambassador Michaelis took to social media to clarify that AfD is not just nationalist but has been classified by German intelligence as a "suspected" right-wing extremist group, with some members under surveillance for their extremist views. Michaelis emphasized that AfD's policies and rhetoric are seen as a threat to Germany's democratic order, directly contradicting Vance's portrayal of the party. This exchange highlights the ongoing debate about the nature and influence of far-right politics in Germany and how they are perceived internationally.
