AfD fails with Senate rejection proposal. The party did not present any new arguments.
The request was made across the board and obviously without any basis. The proceedings concern the classification of the AfD by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution. The Federal Office (BfV), based in Cologne, had classified the party and the youth organization Junge Alternative (JA) as suspected right-wing extremist cases. The 5th Senate should clarify whether the ruling from the lower instance at the Cologne Administrative Court stands.
