A coalition of over 100 German Bundestag members has submitted a motion to ban the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, urging Bundestag President Bärbel Bas to initiate proceedings for constitutional review. The motion emphasizes urgency due to upcoming early elections, as proponents fear potential threats to party equity in the electoral process. However, the proposal is contentious, with some lawmakers advocating for a thorough preliminary evaluation of the AfD’s constitutionality. The evaluation of the party’s status as potentially extremist may also be influenced by recent disruptions in state parliament sessions.
