Then they had the nerve to tell Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who criticized them, that they were just banning Nazis.
What kind of a government tries to shut down its political opponents?
A night-haunted dictatorship, which is what Germany is descending into, the outcome of its COVID lockdowns, its migrant surge, its self-induced energy dependence, its enfeebled green economy, and its social wokery.
According to a German expat paper, the Munich Eye:
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has classified the entire Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as confirmed right-wing extremist. This decision has prompted reactions from various political factions, with opposition parties such as the SPD, Greens, and Left Party welcoming the classification. In response, AfD leaders Alice Weidel and Tino Chrupalla announced plans to take legal action against what they describe as damaging and politically motivated claims that threaten democracy.
Weidel and Chrupalla argue that the classification is an unjust attack on their party, asserting that it seeks to discredit them ahead of a potential governmental transition. They emphasize that the ruling represents a targeted effort to intervene in the democratic process and is fundamentally political in nature.
The classification was made public in Cologne, where the Office for the Protection of the Constitution cited the party's extreme positions as undermining human dignity and fostering an overall hostile attitude towards migrants and Muslims. This assessment reflects an ongoing concern regarding the party's ideological direction and its implications for German democracy.
In light of the new classification, Schleswig-Holstein's Minister President Daniel Günther (CDU) has voiced support for initiating a ban on the AfD, stating that their anti-constitutional stance has long been evident, especially as they are already recognized as right-wing extremist in three German states. He called for swift action by the federal government

Banning conservatives because they are NAZIs (National Socialists just like the current leftist German government?) I swear I am puzzled by their idiocy.
Nothing says “Democracy” like banning your political opponents...
Well, they are idiots, so they come up with idiocy.
Perhaps Germany, floundering like the UK, needs another Austrian paper hanger.
,,, easy - a fascist government.
“Germany was having trouble. What a sad, sad story.....”
If the UK Reform Party led by Nigel Farage continues to surge in the polls, I would not be surprised if the authorities in the UK don’t invent some way of banning or jailing Nigel Farage and his party from running.
Gee guess they don’t have Constitutions with “negative rights” that would prevent such horrible suppression.
But somebody might think the wrong thing!!
Remind me again why we have to protect Western Europe from Russia?
Sign of a dictatorship.
I’ll take a pass on that.
The Powers That Be in Germany are scared of the AfD just not to the point of rounding them up yet (camps and ovens must be built first) but getting close.
I did not NASI this coming.
“Germany’s ruling parties seek to ban their rising AfD conservative rivals”
My understanding is that AfD is OPPOSED to the Ukraine War, so it makes sense that they need to be banned. Really no different than Trump being shot, or Fico taking 5 bullets. Sometimes ‘protecting democracy’ requires more ‘creative means’ than simply allowing elections, at least according to the Globalists (and perhaps the Zeepers too?).
Our democrats tried to jail Trump for hundreds of years. Same thing, right?
“For the Defense of Nation and State” and “To Combat Treason against the German Nation and Treasonable Activities”
Just call it, “The Enabling Act”.
Our marxists ant their marxists are on the same page.
