The Society for Civil Rights has called out the right-wing Alternative for Germany for its tough stance on immigration and alleged efforts to erode democratic processes
A left-liberal German NGO has made a case for declaring the country’s largest populist party unconstitutional. The Society for Civil Rights argues that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party’s platform and rhetoric regarding immigration, citizenship, and minority groups constitute sufficient grounds to ban it under the country’s strict post-war democratic laws.
The AfD, which advocates for tougher immigration laws and opposes Germany’s support for Ukraine, came in second at 20% in last year’s federal elections. An INSA opinion poll earlier this month indicated that the AfD had emerged as Germany’s most popular party with 29% support.
On Thursday, the Society for Civil Rights, an organization resembling the American Civil Liberties Union which receives funding from George Soros’ Open Societies Foundations, presented its 1,500-page “expert report” claiming that the right-wing party’s positions on multiple hot-button issues are in breach of the German Basic Law.
”The expert opinion is unequivocal: The AfD is unconstitutional,” the paper, which supposedly draws on millions of social media posts by party members as well as press releases and parliamentary documents, concludes.
