Debate about AfD: Aiwanger against AfD ban

Bavaria Minister of Economic Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister Hubert Aiwanger a ban on the AfD away. Aiwanger justified this in the Talk format « Politician Grille » in the world TV with that « we have to fight a party politically by solving the problems that cause them to be chosen. »

One cannot ban a party that addresses the topics of 22 to 25 percent of voters, said the Free Voter boss. One had to take note that the AfD has found the sore point with the topic of migration – and took up the topic « after which others no longer wanted to bend down ». Now the new federal government has to clear the topic. « Then I am convinced that an AfD can also be reduced again. »

The state government had asked the state government to examine the introduction of an AfD ban.

In addition, Greens politicians had asked the interior ministers to deal with preparations for an AfD ban procedure at their current spring conference in Bremerhaven.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution had classified the AfD at the beginning of May as secure right -wing extremist endeavor. After the AfD had complained about it, the domestic intelligence service decided to suspend a corresponding name and observation of the party until a decision by the court. In Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Brandenburg, this applies to the respective national associations, but is also the subject of legal disputes there.
