## A partial ban as an alternative
The idea of banning a political party always sparks debate. In **Berlin**, justice senator **Feliz Badenberg** has raised the possibility of a partial ban on the **AfD**. The **CDU** politician believes a full ban process against the party is "unpromising" at this point. However, she views favorably the option of banning the party's **Thuringia** branch specifically, calling it "correct" both legally and politically. This stance suggests a cautious strategy, seeking concrete points of action in a complex landscape.
## The road to a ban
The procedures for banning a political party in **Germany** are intricate and defined by the Basic Law. They require solid evidence that the party is actively seeking to undermine the liberal democratic order. The **AfD** has been under scrutiny by German security authorities, and concerns have been raised about its extremist positions. However, proving that the party as a whole operates unconstitutionally is a high bar. A partial ban, like the one **Badenberg** suggests for the **AfD** in **Thuringia**, could be a more antiestéticasible route, as it focuses on specific activities or structures within a particular region.
