Extremism

Extremism refers to efforts that reject the democratic constitutional state and its core values, norms, and rules – in whole or in part.

Extremists aim to dismantle the free democratic system and replace it with one that aligns with their own ideology. Violence is often seen by them as a legitimate means to achieve their goals – whether they use it themselves or call on others to do so.
