Schleswig-Holstein’s Ministerpräsident Daniel Günther (CDU) urges the federal government to initiate a Verbot against the AfD, contrasting with Friedrich Merz (CDU). Günther believes that the state should protect itself and cites the experiences of the Weimar Republic and Third Reich as a reason to utilize the possibility of a party ban. He asserts that many people see the danger posed by the AfD and believes that a ban would be “vertrauensbildend” for the rule of law. On the other hand, Friedrich Merz is skeptical of a Verbot, stating that he has always resisted pursuing such a course from the Bundestag, as it smells like political competitor elimination. Günther’s goal is to see a request for a Verbot submitted at the federal level, targeting the federal AfD party. He promises to support the federal government in this endeavor. Günther argues that allowing the AfD to continue radicalizing and openly right-wing extremism would send the wrong signal and contribute to the loss of trust in the state. He believes that a Verbot would be a more reassuring message for the majority of the population. Günther’s stance on the AfD differs from that of Friedrich Merz, who is hesitant to pursue a Verbot.
