The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the AfD as secured right -wing extremist – for legal reasons, this is on ice. How does the SPD chairman see that?
SPD boss Lars Klingbeil sees the examination of an AfD ban as a necessary obligation. “If the protection of the constitution confirms what we have always known that it is a secure right -wing party, then (…) we are duty as the defenders of democracy and constitution to seriously examine all possibilities,” said Klingbeil at the SPD Brandenburg State Party Congress in Cottbus. “It is our duty to use all the means that the constitution gives us to protect our constitution from the enemies of democracy.” He emphasized: “This is a historical mission that we have.”
Brandenburg’s Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke (SPD) also spoke out for the examination of a prohibition procedure, but pointed out high hurdles. “It will be a long, a rocky, difficult political and legal path,” he said at the state party conference. It must also be clarified – if courts confirmed the classification – how to deal with civil servants who were committed to the AfD. It is just as important to lead the argument “with right -wing extremists”.
