Thuringia's Interior Minister Georg Maier (SPD) is convinced that the AfD is "increasingly driving the radical corona protests."

Her parliamentary group even gave out "tips on how to disguise illegal demos as walks and play cat and mouse with the police," said Maier.

"This party is in the process of undermining democracy from within."

On Facebook, for example, the parliamentary group led by Björn Höcke writes: "1000 strollers without ID cannot be checked." Authorities in other federal states have made similar findings.

"The AfD and its right-wing extremist apron organization Zukunft Heimat are the main protagonists of the Corona protests in Brandenburg," says Jörg Müller, head of the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution.

The AfD played the debate about compulsory vaccination in the hands of the AfD.

"In reality, certain parts of the party are concerned with despising the state and parliamentary democracy," said Müller.

In Cottbus, for example, large rallies were registered by the AfD district chief and at the same time promoted by right-wing extremist associations.
