SPD decides: AfD ban in the discussion-struggle for democracy!
Berlin, Deutschland - On July 2, 2025, Berlin is all about a significant decision: The SPD Federal Party Congress unanimously initiated the preparations for a possible ban on the AfD. After almost two hours of intensive discussion with around three dozen speakers: Inside, the delegates seem to be determined to offer the aspiring right party to stand up for the aspiring right party. The SPD leader Lars Klingbeil sees the legal examination of the AfD as a "historical task" and emphasizes the need to work for democracy. This is also underlined by inner expert Dorothea Marx, which demands stronger measures against the AfD.
The debate was about historical responsibility and distribution justice, whereby aspects such as affordable living space, better daycare centers and schools as well as climate justice were discussed. It was a clear sign that the SPD wanted to avert radical ideas, as the delegate Aaron Spielmann's clearly made. With regard to the upcoming state elections in Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony, where the AfD has reached survey values of up to 30 %, the Eastern state associations feel under pressure to actively act against right-wing extremists.

constitutional protection and the triple classification
An important basis for the debate on an AfD ban is the current classification of the party by the constitutional protection as a "secured right-wing extremist" ( zdf ). This evaluation refers to problematic statements by party board members who propagate an ethnic and parentage understanding of nation, which is not compatible with the basic democratic order. Estimation of "reversing" or "violent cultures" inspire the discussion about the far-reaching consequences of AfD policy.
Despite the classification and the ongoing debate, the AfD remains unimpressed and announces legal steps against the evaluation. A letter from the lawyer Ralf Höcker calls on the protection of the constitution. However, many experts doubt the sustainability of this strategy and see the classification as an obstacle to normalizing the Afd.
With the intensification of the discussion about a possible ban on the AfD, the political camps are also split. While the SPD relies on a clear course of legal control, other parties pursue different approaches. Regardless of the outcome, a lively and controversial debate is emerging that could not only shape the political landscape in Germany, but also has far -reaching effects on future democracy.
It remains to be seen how the situation is developing and whether the SPD can mobilize the necessary support for a ban on a ban at the Federal Constitutional Court. The next few weeks will be crucial to see whether the decision of the party congress is more than just a political signal.
