Greens Push AfD Ban Talks as Dobrindt Fast-Tracks Federal–State Response

The moves seek to convert security findings into legal and administrative action despite the AfD classification being paused by a court challenge.

Overview

  • Green co-chairs Katharina Dröge and Britta Haßelmann invited Union, SPD and Linke leaders to coordinate a Bundestag request for a party-ban case against the AfD, aiming to meet in the first post-recess week.
  • Linke leader Heidi Reichinnek said her faction accepts the invitation and will push the process forward, while the SPD points to its unanimous party congress mandate to prepare an examination.
  • Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt advanced his timetable for consultations with the Länder on consequences of the planned Verfassungsschutz upgrade, with a working group expected to meet this month on service law, weapons permits and security checks.
  • The BfV’s May move to rate the AfD as “gesichert rechtsextremistisch” remains suspended pending the party’s lawsuit, leaving the upgrade in legal limbo.
  • Brandenburg’s education minister announced forthcoming guidelines for handling teachers affiliated with the AfD, stressing case-by-case reviews where constitutional loyalty is questioned.
