Requirements, risks and opportunities of an AfD ban - lecture and discussion at KESSELHAUS
An attempt is being made to repeat history before our very eyes. The AfD is pursuing - unfortunately successfully so far - a strategy of the NSDAP towards the end of the Weimar Republic. In the so-called "legal revolution", the AfD is on the way to conquering political power in Germany through elections in order to then abolish elections and replace parliamentary democracy with a fascist dictatorship.
Through A. Weidel and others, the AfD has announced that if it came to power, Antifa would immediately be declared a terrorist organization and banned. Leading representatives of the AfD speak of "overcoming the party state" and of a "party swamp that must be drained", which means nothing other than that all parties apart from the AfD would be dissolved and banned once they came to power.
Against this backdrop, the current discussion about banning the AfD seems strangely hesitant and oblivious to history. There is no alternative to banning the AfD - apart from a political confrontation with this party and its ideas.
In a 30-minute keynote speech, the speaker will outline the requirements, risks and opportunities of banning the AfD, based on Article 21 of the Basic Law and the case law of the Federal Constitutional Court. He will also address the arguments put forward against a ban procedure.
After clarifying questions of understanding, the speaker is looking forward to a lively discussion. The following questions should be addressed:
- What interests are being pursued by actors who oppose a ban on the AfD?
- How can political pressure be built up to persuade those entitled to apply for a ban?
- What could an accompanying campaign look like during the ban procedure?
