Well, you might want to read the German constitution. In short is says; any group or political party whose goal is an upheaval of the current system of government can be declared unconstitutional.
- Andrew_nenakhov 2y agoDoes replacing CSU/CDU via elections counts as upheaval of the current system of government?
- rbanffy 2y agoNo. Democratic elections are part of the system of government. If the AfD wants to significantly hinder democratic representation via elections, reduce the ability of non-native Germans to vote, or reduce the power of elected representatives, then it is acting against the system of government and must be outlawed.
- Andrew_nenakhov 2y agoDo you have any evidence that AdD wants to 'significantly hinder democratic representation via elections'? So far I do see efforts to do just that by parties that promote censorship ('stop disinformation') and try to ban their political opponents like AfD.
- rbanffy 2y agoNo. And that’s why it hasn’t been banned yet.
- Andrew_nenakhov 2y agoSo why even the talk of it then? You can't just ban the opposition if you expect to lose elections to them.
