OVG rejects AfD application: Young alternative classified as extremist!
This day, the North Rhine-Westphalian Higher Administrative Court rejected the urban proposals of the alternative for Germany (AfD) and its dissolved youth organization young alternative. This ends a legal dispute that has been making headlines for several months. According to the information from ksta.de , the AfD was not able to successfully challenge legal steps against the classification of the young alternative.
Interestingly, the Cologne Administrative Court had already decided in May 2022 that the protection of the constitution could classify the young alternative as an organization with extremist goals. This classification was fought violently by the AfD, but the courts have so far expressed no legal doubts about this measure. An urgent application of this kind has now failed.right -wing extremists in focus in the focus
The assessment of the protection of the constitution states that the young alternative states at a "Völkisch-Lashkunstungslicht", as can be seen from the reports of Tagesschau.de . This organization propagates ideas that contradict human dignity and are strongly shaped by anti -foreign mood. The Protection of the Constitution also found that the young alternative contacts with groups already classified as constitutional.
The President of the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Thomas Haldenwang, sees the decision of the Cologne Administrative Court an important step towards protecting democracy. Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD) also underlines the relevance of legal measures against extremist efforts within Germany. However, the AfD has not criticized the sharpest such measures for the first time and sees itself as a victim of political arbitrariness.
The developments related to the AfD
A look at the developments shows that the protection of the constitution classified the AfD in early May 2023 as "secured right -wing extremist struts". The party drove this into the next wave of lawsuits and into a whirlpool of urgent applications. But the courts apparently confirm the classification with every decision what the AfD and its supporters are increasingly under pressure.
The protection of the constitution has made it clear that it was not allowed to inform the public about the current right -wing extremist classification, which the AfD no longer serves as an argument. The persistent legal disputes throw a bright light on the polarized political landscape in Germany. Right -wing extremists will undoubtedly remain a recurring topic in our country; The developments around the AfD provide plenty of ignition material.
The debate about the protection of democracy by the legal system and the adherence to the basic values is more frequent than Constitutional Protection.de This situation shows how important it is to actively deal with the political reality and to have a vigilant eye on extremist currents.
