More Than 40% of Germans Against AfD Ban

While the leftist and liberal parties seek to block Germany’s poll-leading right-wing populists—citing threats to democracy—they lack the parliamentary support needed for such a measure.

Today’s attempts to ban AfD represent something unprecedented: a governing elite attempting to eliminate its primary opposition to preserve its own power.

Bärbel Bas says she will join Green-led discussions on banning the right-wing party.

To ‘protect democracy,’ German establishment parties are set to meet later this month to discuss banning a party supported by almost a quarter of voters.

A Brandenburg intelligence report classified an AfD member’s social media post proposing a day of remembrance as ‘extremist.’

Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf may have been the biggest advocate for banning the AfD, but her likely replacement will not be much better either.

Jette Nietzard would have no problem with trying to forcefully bring down a democratically elected government.

With AfD and the CDU neck and neck in the polls once again, public dissatisfaction with Chancellor Merz surged to a record-high 64%.

Again, politicians are out of touch with their constituents.

AfD members in the German state of Rhineland-Palatinate can no longer be excluded from teaching or policing roles, after the state walked back its proposed restrictions.
