Bavarian Greens Unveil 390-Page Dossier of AfD Landtag Speeches to Push Party-Ban Effort

They say the documented rhetoric demonstrates a closed right‑wing extremist worldview warranting preparation for a constitutional court case.

Overview

  • The compilation draws on 21,880 pages of plenary protocols from 2018 to 2023 and cites about 250 passages traceable in official records and videos.
  • Bavaria’s domestic intelligence service confirms it does not evaluate parliamentary speeches, citing the state constitution’s indemnity protection for lawmakers.
  • The Greens call for a joint federal–state commission to bundle evidence for a formal application, noting that only the Federal Constitutional Court can ban a party.
  • Positions at the federal level remain split, with Chancellor Friedrich Merz and CSU leader Markus Söder skeptical while SPD voices press to initiate proceedings.
  • The AfD dismisses the initiative as an attempt to sideline a competitor, and recent internal strife persisted as a Greding party meeting failed to unseat the leadership.
