Several German states seek to outlaw the far-right AfD party. The party faces a legal procedure that could ban its activities.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

The far-right party **AfD** faces a possible ban in **Germany**, driven by several of its federal states.

## A party under scrutiny

The **AfD**, a German far-right party, is under the scrutiny of several regional administrations. **Bremen**, **Hamburg**, **Berlin** and **Schleswig-Holstein** have expressed their intention to support or initiate legal proceedings to ban the activities of this political group. The measure, if successful, could have a significant impact on the German political landscape.

## The context of the proposal

This request does not come out of nowhere. The **AfD** has been controversial for its positions and statements, which some consider contrary to **Germany**'s democratic and constitutional principles. The states calling for its ban argue that the party represents a threat to the democratic order. The final decision would rest with the Federal Constitutional Court.
