The federal chairman of the Greens, Felix Banaszak, has once again spoken out in favor of initiating proceedings to ban the AfD. This path is important "before it is too late", said Banaszak at the state party conference of the Saxon Greens in Neukieritzsch near Leipzig. It was right to have the Federal Constitutional Court examine whether the party "stands on the ground of our constitution or is trying to override these constitutional principles with feet, with violence and with violence in language".
He urged differentiation. "It would be a mistake to assume that those who have doubts have a secret affinity with the AfD or its positions." It is also not about suppressing political disputes. Banaszak emphasized that political determination does not mean giving up on substantive debate.
