Germany: AfD Ban Debated–Again
A report produced by an NGO claiming to be a protector of fundamental freedoms has revived plans to get rid of Germany’s main opposition party, suggesting it is ‘unconstitutional.’

A report produced by an NGO claiming to be a protector of fundamental freedoms has revived plans to get rid of Germany’s main opposition party, suggesting it is ‘unconstitutional.’

BSW estimates that just 9,529 additional votes would have been enough to gain a seat in the Bundestag.

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

The German capital’s local government is abolishing a regulation that forbade teachers from wearing the hijab in schools.

Either option—electing judges with a simple majority or eliminating the plenary vote altogether—would open the door for abortion liberalization and experimenting with AfD bans.
