The allegedly far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is now Germany’s largest opposition group. It even topped several opinion polls in the weeks after February’s federal election.
At the same time, another major political party is calling for the AfD to be banned. The AfD is competition.
In May, the country’s domestic intelligence agency formally classified the AfD as an extremist entity that threatens democracy.

The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution laid out its findings. They claimed the party was racist, anti-Muslim, and devaluing of “entire segments” of Germany’s population.
It gave them an excuse to surveil the AfD, looking for “crimes.”
The left-wing parties claim they are trying to avoid Nazism by banning the AfD.
Two criteria must be met by Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court to form a legal basis for a ban.
First, the party in question must be found to work against the country’s free democratic order, demonstrating an “actively belligerent, aggressive stance.”
Second, the party must be popular enough to pose a tangible threat to democracy, a provision created in 2017 and called “potentiality.”
Popular Substack writer Eugyppius writes:
The Social Democrats (SPD) are fighting hard to force two hard-left justices onto the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe. The two justices have said they want to ban the AfD.
The candidates would be appointed to the second senate of the Constitutional Court, which is the division responsible for banning political parties. And as if that were not enough, the SPD nominated both candidates in the wake of their party congress, where SPD chairman Lars Klingbeil said that banning the AfD was his party’s “historical duty.”
…
>Once the AfD is gone – once all their assets are confiscated, all their representatives are driven out of the federal and state parliaments and the authorities have hunted down all plausible successor organisations – the left would turn on the CDU and the CSU.
They will then have a majority everywhere.

If your only means of remaining in power is to enact a ban against your opponents, you might be blind to what the citizens want. Sadly, that has become typical behavior by left-wing politicians.
It isn’t unintentional blindness, it is intentional tyranny. America needs to cut ties with the EU and get out of NATO. Except for Poland and Hungary, Europe has lost its collective mind. It is now a minion of demonic Islam. Europeans told God to get out and He left them to their own madness. Romans 1 never fails.
My ancestors left Germany for religious freedom, not wanting to be forced into a state church that forced churches of conflicting beliefs into one church. Too often the German people have accepted totalitarian leaders who take away people’s rights (including free speech) to limit opposition. The spirit of Hitler is alive; brown shirts next.
I’d rather be far-right than wrong.
