According to AfD classification: Almost half of the Germans for Party ban

Germany is debating a ban on the AfD. In Austria, dealing with the FPÖ is more relaxed. What are the reasons for this?

The AfD considers constitutional protection to be "secured right-wing extremist". However, the path to a ban would be far.

According to the classification as "secured far right" almost 50% of Germans plead for a ban on the AfD. The party vehemently protested against it.

The discussion about the usefulness of an AfD ban distracts from the essential. It is about liberalism, fundamental rights and the lessons from German history.

The Federal Office for Constitutional Protection has classified the alternative for Germany (AfD) as 'secured right-wing extremist'.

After the constitutional protection has classified the AfD as a secure right-wing extreme, there is criticism of the way in which this decision is published. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser has acted alone and without professional examination, it is said.
