Dobrindt announces the protection of the constitution-AfD ban in the debate!
On Monday, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) presented the comprehensive constitutional protection report for 2024. This 400 -page report shows the alarming development of right -wing extremism in Germany and identifies it as the greatest threat to the Basic Law. According to Dobrindt, the content of a recently leaked 1,000-page report is not sufficient to initiate an AfD ban. In particular, he complained that the report did not document aggressive attacks by the AfD on democracy that would be necessary for a party ban. Dobrindt also pointed out that the discussion about a ban on "hasty conclusions" and a confrontation to content is required that offer solutions to civil problems instead of discussing bans.
The constitutional protection report shows that around 38,000 political crimes of 50,250 right -wing extremists were committed last year. This number exceeds the sum of all political crimes committed by left -wing, foreign groups and Islamists. Dobrindt criticized the expert opinion on the high classification of the AfD as "secured right -wing extremist" and evaluates the ongoing discussions about a ban as inadequate. As is well known, the AfD is currently classified as a suspected case and defends itself against this decision with an urgent application, the outcome of which is still pending.
right -wing extremism in focus
The statistics of the report show a worrying increase in the right -wing extremist person potential that will be estimated at 50,250 people at the end of 2024, compared to 40,600 in 2023. This includes around 15,300 violent right -wing extremists, which represents an increase of 800 people compared to the previous year. The report also records 37,835 right-wing extremist criminal and violent acts in 2024, which corresponds to an increase of 47.4 %
A striking aspect is that 34.213 of the crimes mentioned are eliminated on propagandaeles and opinion crimes, while violent crimes and assault have increased. This development has also led to right-wing extremist acts of violence against asylum accommodations and attacks on the LSBTIQ community were increasingly registered. The constitutional protection report also shows that right -wing extremist structures are trying to exploit social issues such as the Middle East conflict for their anti -Semitic and anti -migration positions.
The role of politics
The mood regarding a ban on the AfD is divided political. Schleswig-Holstein's Prime Minister Daniel Günther supports a ban while Dobrindt takes a careful attitude. The Green Co-chairwoman Felix Banaszak made demands for a prohibition procedure. According to the constitutional protection report, not only would the representation of constitutional opinions be sufficient for such a ban, but active and aggressive measures would have to be considered necessary to justify a ban.Overall, Dobrindt supports a clear examination of the topic of political extremisms in order to construct the challenges that right -wing extremism brings. The Interior Minister announced that the protection of the constitution would make the necessary financial resources available, but without naming concrete figures. The annual budget of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is 512 million euros, which is 43 million euros more than in the previous year. The report throws a critical light on the development in German society and demands an increased commitment to right -wing extremism.
