Court: AfD youth extremist, members of the state parliament. AfD and JA can lodge a complaint with the North Rhine-Westphalia Higher Administrative Court.

The JA is legally a separate association, but “in a practical sense it is an integral part the AfD,” says AfD state chief Robert Lambrou. The decision is not legally binding (ref: 13 L 1124/23). AfD: “The political will to destroy from the very top against us has long been obvious.”
