When do we ban the AFD in Germany 👀👀👀👀

- It's long overdue imo.

- With AfD polling at the same popularity as the SPD, that could get ugly. And everyone is still aware of the disgrace that came to light when they tried to ban the way less popular NPD. I guess some secret services would hate to lose their assets in the AfD.

  The "way less popular NPD" ban failed, because the NPD was way less popular. Cite from DW article (2017): "Although the party's attitude to the constitution has been deemed hostile, it does not have the potential to upend democracy in Germany, the court said."
  
  Same popularity as the SPD (aka 20%) means that the party is not irrelevant like the NPD. So if the party's attitude to the constitution has been deemed hostile and it does indeed have the potential to upend democracy in Germany this should be the perfect time to ban this party.

- And FvD in The Netherlands…

- Unfortunately you let it become too big and relevant to be dissolved.

  I mean, the last time they tried to ban a party, it failed because it was not relevant enough to be a significant threat to democracy.

- We could not ban NPD, which are literal Nazis. So no chance, Nazis that pretend to be just very conservative, will be banned.

  We didn't ban them because they were a tiny minority that didnt get any votes. The AFD is a party of fascists with a chance of disrupting our democracy. I'm sure there is a way.

- Thats the fun thing. They can, but they will not get the same amount of support.

  And actually such a ban also includes new parties of the same group. A simple name change won't be enough if the ringleaders are on watch.
  
  It also destroys the whole support network such as bank accounts.

- Oh they will, but they will found many different parties with lots of infighting. Divide and conquer

Here's an article with a little more about it (si vous comprenez français) https://www.20minutes.fr/politique/4048385-20230808-tout-savoir-civitas-parti-integriste-catholique-menace-dissolution-gerald-darmanin

TL;Dr, they're more than antisemitic, they're also connected to new world orderism. My opinion ?If there's a party that deserves to be dissolved, it's this one.
