Important decision in the dispute between the AfD and the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. In a year with many elections and protests against the party, this question is particularly explosive.

In an appeal hearing on March 12th and 13th, the highest administrative judges in North Rhine-Westphalia will clarify whether the BfV's assessment is legal. The AfD's process still causes problems because many people in the west of the Federal Republic, where the European elections are due to take place on June 9th, see it differently.
