The Greens called on the German parties to discuss the AfD ban

The German Greens have invited other parties represented in the Bundestag to discuss the possibility of banning the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. This was reported on September 4 by the newspaper Die Welt with reference to a letter from the co-chairs of the parliamentary faction of the Greens.

"The chairmen of the Green faction invited the leaders of the Christian Democratic and Christian Social Union bloc, the Social Democratic Party of Germany and the Left to negotiate a possible procedure for banning AFD," the article says.

The democratic factions should "responsibly" treat the possibly necessary ban on AFD, and if necessary, quickly begin this procedure, the letter says. According to its authors, the problem lies in the "progressive radicalization" of AfD.

What the opponents of "Alternative for Germany" are trying to achieve

On May 2, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Germany classified the AFD as a right-wing extremist organization that threatens democracy in the country. On May 5, the party filed a lawsuit against the federal agency for this decision. The Bild newspaper reported on May 8 that counterintelligence had temporarily suspended the definition of the party as right-wing extremist pending a court decision.

On June 29, SPD leader Lars Klingbeil put forward a proposal to declare the AFD unconstitutional. The head of the government of Rhineland-Palatinate, Alexander Schweitzer, supported the idea, but urged to avoid hasty steps. In his opinion, it is important to have convincing evidence, otherwise a premature lawsuit may end in not only legal, but also political failure.
