AfD Brandenburg Challenges Ban on Election Campaign Video

The party plans to appeal a court ruling upholding the ban, which media regulators say is due to the video promoting harmful stereotypes.

The AfD in Brandenburg is contesting a court decision that upheld a ban on their election campaign video for alleged use of harmful stereotypes.
The video, criticized by the Berlin-Brandenburg media authority, portrays individuals with darker skin tones as threatening, contrasted with lighter-skinned individuals.
The Potsdam Administrative Court ruled that the video could negatively impact the development of children and adolescents, supporting its restriction under youth protection laws.
AfD Brandenburg leader René Springer claims the ban infringes on freedom of expression and plans to appeal to the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court.
The video, previously shared on platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, must remain inaccessible to minors under the current ruling.
