reThe president of the conference of interior ministers, Georg Maier, has proposed banning the AfD in case it becomes radicalized.
Referring to the unrest in the Bundestag by guests of AfD deputies, the Thuringia Social Democratic department head said: “It is becoming increasingly obvious how much the AfD functions as the parliamentary arm of right-wing extremists and tries to undermine democracy. parliamentary from within. The whole party is developing in an extreme right direction. “
He told the “German publishing network” on Saturday: “The task of the protection of the constitution is to collect material that will stand up in court to find the right means to deal with the AfD. Prohibition procedures in the Federal Constitutional Court are the last resort. But even that can no longer be ruled out if the party continues to radicalize. “
Above all, however, it remains a political and social task to confront this undemocratic force and push it back, Maier explained.
During the vote on the Infection Protection Law, visitors to the Reichstag building came through the AfD MPs, who then abused, filmed and sometimes insulted the defenders of the law among politicians.
Dobrindt sees AfD on the direct path to the new NPD
CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt also addressed the AfD harshly in an interview. The party is on the “direct route to the new NPD”. “The honest men of the AfD long ago left the field to the arsonists,” he told the “Passauer Neue Presse” (Saturday).
The abuse of history, the contempt of parliament and political institutions, the falsification and forgetfulness of history and the comparison with the Enabling Law of 1933 show that “the AfD wants to pierce the hay with a torch to ignite emotions and provoke aggressions” Dobrindt said: “This means that the AfD is on the direct path to becoming the new NPD.”
The fact that the rioters smuggled into the Bundestag by the AfD have harassed MPs is not a coincidence for Dobrindt, but rather an “obviously concerted action”. He added: “All the action has shown that there is a close network between the protesters in the street, the AfD MPs in the plenary chamber and the rioters in the Reichstag.”
The CSU politician sees a “new quality of the dispute in the German Bundestag, with the aim of dismantling democratic operations from within.” With its behavior, the AfD shows that it has taken another step towards right-wing extremism. “The radical elements of this party are getting stronger and stronger. The heads of the party and the parliamentary group also support this radical path. “
