The SPD is considering initiating a procedure to ban the AfD, viewed as a threat to democracy. At their party conference, the SPD plans to discuss the formation of a federal working group to explore legal avenues for this ban.
SPD General Secretary Tim Klüssendorf emphasized the urgent need to counter right-wing extremism, which he considers the greatest threat to democracy. If the proposal gains support, a cross-party group will be tasked with gathering evidence on the AfD’s unconstitutionality.
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has already classified the AfD as "securely right-extremist." However, the path to a party ban is challenging, requiring substantial evidence of a party's intent to undermine the democratic order.
Meanwhile, the AfD is pushing for constitutional changes in Lower Saxony to protect their members' statements outside the parliament, a move criticized by the SPD as enabling hate speech. Across Germany, citizens are actively opposing right-wing extremism through demonstrations, signaling widespread support for action against such ideologies.
