DEBATE

Das Parteiverbot in Deutschland und Europa

The nationwide demonstrations in response to the Potsdam “Remigration Meeting” have reignited a debate about banning the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). What legal and political hurdles would such a step face, also in view of the AfD’s effective strategies of self-victimisation? How do other countries deal with comparable threats to democracy? In a blog debate, the Düsseldorf Party Research Institute (PRUF) and the Foundation for Science and Democracy (SW&D) in cooperation with the Thuringia Project are bringing together contributions that analyse the party ban in depth and from different perspectives.
