When do we ban the AFD in Germany 👀👀👀👀
With AfD polling at the same popularity as the SPD, that could get ugly. And everyone is still aware of the disgrace that came to light when they tried to ban the way less popular NPD. I guess some secret services would hate to lose their assets in the AfD.
The “way less popular NPD” ban failed, because the NPD was way less popular. Cite from DW article (2017): “Although the party’s attitude to the constitution has been deemed hostile, it does not have the potential to upend democracy in Germany, the court said.”
Same popularity as the SPD (aka 20%) means that the party is not irrelevant like the NPD. So if the party’s attitude to the constitution has been deemed hostile and it does indeed have the potential to upend democracy in Germany this should be the perfect time to ban this party.

Problem being, when one voter every 5 supports a party, it’s not that simple as you’re basically saying 20% of your entire population is unfit according to the constitution.
It’s a suicide, politically speaking
We could not ban NPD, which are literal Nazis. So no chance, Nazis that pretend to be just very conservative, will be banned.
We didn’t ban them because they were a tiny minority that didnt get any votes. The AFD is a party of fascists with a chance of disrupting our democracy. I’m sure there is a way.
Not really, we tried really hard but it turned out that to many people involved were “informants” working for Verfassungsschutz. But I also don’t really see a point in forbidding a Party that has 20% support, those people won’t just change their opinion. They are the actual problem and needed to be reached.
Thats the fun thing. They can, but they will not get the same amount of support.

TL;Dr, they’re more than antisemitic, they’re also connected to new world orderism. My opinion ?If there’s a party that deserves to be dissolved, it’s this one.
