The Saxon Greens have convened for their state party conference in Neukieritzsch near Leipzig. At the state convention on Saturday, the almost 100 delegates will vote on an urgent motion to ban the AfD, among other things. The classification of the AfD as a confirmed right-wing extremist party by the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution at the beginning of May gives more than enough reason to start the process of examining a party ban, the party said.
"We demand that the German
federal government, the Bundesrat or the Bundestag apply for a ban procedure," the motion states. Other state associations of the Alliance Greens, the members of the Greens in the Bundestag as well as the federal executive and the Saxon state government were also called upon to support a ban procedure.
