op-online.deOn the weekend the Federal Party Day of the AfD takes place in Erfurt. What the excitement about protests, the date and the content is about.
There are good reasons to demonstrate against the AfD, but self-explained antifascism does not legitimize taking the right into its own hands.
Protests against the AfD are useful – a blockade rather not, it often says. Because: This would help the AfD to take on the role of victim. Such a argument could eventually lead to passivity. A comment.
Democratic attitudes are evident in dealing with political opponents. The AfD has the right to hold a party congress as well as its opponents to peacefully protest against it. The rule of law and freedom of assembly must be protected equally.
