German Vice Chancellor seeks to review the possibility of banning the AfD
Vice Chancellor of Germany, Lars Klingbeil

Germany's Vice Chancellor, Lars Klingbeil, called on August 23 to review the possibility of banning the far-right party, Alternative for Germany (AfD), in light of testimonies made public by domestic intelligence agencies.

"We have to fight the enemies of democracy," he told Germany's Funke Media Group.

"Whether the detention procedures can succeed must be decided by evaluating the findings of the intelligence agencies," he added.

Klingbeil, co-leader of the Social Democrats (SPD) in the coalition led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, said the government could not sit idly by if a party that is openly far-right aims to destroy Germany's democracy.

"For this reason, the Democrats are obliged to seriously consider the possibility of legal proceedings to stop the AfD," he said.

Germany's domestic intelligence agency - known as the Office for the Protection of the Constitution - declared the AfD a "right-wing extremist group" in May.

The use of this term was later suspended, while a complaint filed by this party with the Court of Appeals is being reviewed.

State-level intelligence agencies have made similar classifications for local branches of the AfD, the largest opposition party in Germany.

While Klingbeil's SPD is seeking the creation of a working group to gather evidence if the AfD acts unconstitutionally, Merz's conservative bloc remains skeptical and believes that legal proceedings could boost support for the AfD.

A request for a ban can be submitted by one of the two chambers of Parliament or by the Government, and only Germany's Constitutional Court has the power to impose the ban measure./REL
