In the debate about a possible ban on the AfD, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann has spoken out in favor of providing the party with content. "We are concentrating on conducting debates on how we can contain the AfD politically," the Green politician said on Tuesday in Stuttgart. First of all, this is crucial.
Stuttgart - The Baden-Württemberg state government is currently not examining whether it wants to initiate a ban procedure in the Bundesrat. From Kretschmann's point of view, other actors are called upon first. Thus, constitutional protection authorities would have to examine the question. In Kretschmann's view, a possible application for a ban should come from federal states where the AfD is particularly radical. "According to statements by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, the AfD is considered to be obviously right-wing extremist and anti-constitutional, especially in the eastern federal states," Kretschmann said.
