SPD calls for AfD ban: A historic decision at the party conference!
At today's SPD party conference in Cologne, the discussion about the AfD is in full swing. In a decisive step, the party has decided to examine whether the AfD is unconstitutional. This is no coincidence, as leading SPD politicians clearly describe the AfD as right-wing extremist. The new party leader Bas emphasized that it is important to obtain clarity about the sufficient evidence for an application for review by the Constitutional Court. If the unconstitutionality is confirmed, the SPD plans to submit a corresponding ban application.

Roloff highlights the “right-wing extremist character” of the AfD and calls for quick action. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution provides information about...
The political climate in Germany is tense, especially when one considers the increase in right-wing extremist crimes, which saw 37,835 cases in 2024, a dramatic increase of 47.4 percent compared to the previous year. This includes not only propaganda crimes, but also physical attacks. In this context, the volume and visibility of right-wing extremist individuals and groups have increased significantly. These developments make it all the more important that the SPD and its allies act before the dangerous ideologies gain further ground.
