- On Wednesday, the Thuringian state parliament held an initial hearing on a potential federal ban against the AfD, featuring testimony from constitutional experts and witnesses on the party's legitimacy.
- The Left parliamentary group requested the marathon session, which ran from 8pm until shortly before midnight, to examine rising legal scrutiny surrounding the AfD's constitutional compliance.
- Comedian Hape Kerkeling testified he "feels that democracy is in danger," arguing the AfD's "euphemistic attitude towards the Nazi dictatorship alone makes them unconstitutional."
- "Majorities are currently sorting themselves in the direction of a possible application for a ban," Thuringia Interior Minister Georg Maier said, calling it a legal obligation.
- While no formal decision followed the session, shifting political alignment suggests the potential for a federal procedure against the AfD is increasing as officials evaluate the party's constitutional status.
