Bundestagsvizepräsident Omid Nouripour (Grüne) calls for AfD to be banned after being classified as “definitely right-wing extremist” by the Federal Agency for the Protection of the Constitution. Nouripour told the Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland that the decision by the Protection of the Constitution is consistent and provides a good basis for a swift ban procedure. He added that the public evidence against the AfD is overwhelming and instead of normalizing the dangerous party, the constitutional organs should commission the Federal Constitutional Court to review the AfD ban. Nouripour emphasized that their job is to protect the constitution and that a robust democracy cannot afford to ignore the erosion caused by anti-democrats. He also stated that German history urges them to take all necessary measures to protect the free and democratic order against any attack.
