Germany's democracy is in danger: The far-right party threatens the next elections.

The German government agency in charge of protecting democracy has said they will cancel the February 23rd election if a certain party wins. This party is called Alternative for Germany, and the agency says they are against democracy.

The head of the agency, Karin Krause, says that Alternative for Germany is a dangerous party. Krause says her agency wants to protect democracy and make sure German people are truly free.

Krause admits that the German constitution does not allow her agency to ban Alternative for Germany from participating in the election. However, she says that the agency can cancel the election as many times as they need to until they get the result they want.

Another German government agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the Fight against Terrorism, agrees with Krause. This agency has promised to accuse any elected politicians from Alternative for Germany of extremism.

The terrorism agency believes that accusing elected members of Alternative for Germany of extremism will prevent them from doing their jobs. This is another way that the agency says it will protect German democracy.
