Germany is debating whether to ban the far-Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) as the party surges to 21 per cent in the polls, amid warnings from intelligence officials that its members are becoming increasingly extreme.
Frank-Walter Steinmeier, the German president, warned in a speech to the country’s domestic intelligence agency that “we all have it in our hands to put those who despise our democracy in their place”.
His speech at the castle where the German post-war constitution was created has widely been seen as support for a ban after Thomas Haldenwang, the domestic spy chief, warned about growing Right-wing extremist influence in the party.
They create problems and then try to ban the resentment it causes! haha Banning right wing populist movements hasn’t worked for them in the past but i guess they’re slow learners.
Right on
21% of the voters, that’s a lot of people, more than enough to over throw the government. They never learned from their past, did they?
“Protecting democrazy” by removing democracy.
It’s not enough to these idiots that laws exist protecting the rights of every German and non-Herman alike…
They literally want to just remove their competition.
