Bundestag: None of the AFD barring requests for now – The World
MPs who wanted to initiate AFD ban proceedings had to give up, but plan a new attempt. AFD will have 152 deputies in the Bundestag in the future and thus become the second largest parliamentary group, transmits Dojče Vele.
The request for initiating the prohibition of the party banning the Alternative for Germany (AFD) faces failure. The initiative, which should apply for a barrier for the party before the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany, was only the first reading. At the moment, 124 deputies support the initiative, but that is not enough, so the Bundestag will not vote about it.
According to the information, the initiators no longer see the possibility that in the current bundestage convocation, vote on this issue. And with the constitutation of the new Bundestag, no later than 25. Marta, the request becomes invalid.
It was not possible to win the majority to ban AFD
The initiative for applying for the prohibition of AFD was prepared for months over the past year. MPs from several parliament groups in Bundestag tried to provide most. It didn't go for their hand.
From the very beginning, it was clear that many deputies in the Bundestag can convince this idea if the Federal Constitutional Protection Service (BFV), ie state security, officially declare the party as extremistically, instead of leading it only as a suspicious case.
Still in October 2024. The then President of the BFV, Thomas Haldenvang (CDU), indicated that there could be such a step. However, it did not happen, nor to the announced professional opinion. The negative factor for the whole process was Haldenvanga candidacy for the Bundestag, which in the meantime, is no longer in office President BFV.
Some initiators will no longer be in the Bundestag
In addition, several injunction initiators will not be in the new bundestag convenience. For one of them, Mark Vandervica (CDU) -Alternative for Germany is the factor of the German Constitution, people and democracy. « AFD is not a party that is just a little right, » said 30. January 2025. Only the day before, most of the most exclusively thanks to the Votes of AFD. The head of the SPD Parliament, Miceni, accused the candidate CDA for the Chancellor, Friedrich Merca, that « opened the door of hell ».
Carmen Vega (SPD) says he will continue to start the procedure against AFD in the Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe. « AFD represents the greatest threat to our democracy and I am convinced that he is eligible for the party ban. »
The Green Member, Til Šteffen, also one of the initiators of the AFD ban, said for ARD: « Our goal remains to restart the procedure in the next convocation. »
Neither Vandervic wants to give up: « AFD is a threat to democracy. So we have to be ready to defend her. Either way, the procedure must continue. AFD continues to radicalize. «
It alludes that the AFD parliamentary group also received Maximilian Kraha and Matijas Helferiha. In one interview, he said that « not everyone who wore the SS uniform were criminals, » as Helferih described as a « friendly face of nationalsocialism ». As he claims, he said Ironically.
