I would advise reading this report carefully” said Söder to RTL and ntv on Tuesday. “But it is of course already a final warning, if I may say so. So between the observation and the classification of individual state parties, especially in the east, we have also noticed this. Now as a whole party, this must also have consequences” said the Bavarian Minister President. “But I am against an AfD ban.” A ban would be the wrong signal. “We have to make the AfD irrelevant by making better governments unnecessary. But it is also crucial that we do not look at the rabbit on the snake every day and that every debate is not only about the AfD. That pleases the AfD” said the CSU leader. “It is worth talking and thinking about the consequences for the public service, the consequences for party financing, which would arise from such a classification and which are also accepted by the Federal Constitutional Court.” Parties that “pursue their objectives or the behavior of their supporters in order to impair or eliminate the free democratic basic order or to endanger the existence of the Federal Republic of Germany” are considered unconstitutional according to Article 21 of the Basic Law. The Federal Constitutional Court decides on the question of constitutionality. A law regulates that the request for a ban can be made by the Bundestag, Bundesrat, or federal government.
