The Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV), or Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, is Germany's domestic intelligence agency. Its primary role is to gather and analyze information about activities that threaten the country's democratic order and to counter espionage. The BfV does not have police powers but acts as an early warning system, informing state authorities and the public about anti-constitutional efforts. Recently, the BfV has been in the news for classifying the AfD party as extremist.
