On the basis of the AfD AfD's classification, Bremen is to advocate the swift initiation of a party ban proceeding against the AfD as "secured right-wing extremist" by
the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution at the Federal Level. The red-red-green coalition of the Hanseatic city wants to bring a corresponding application to the Bremen citizenry.
The draft on the urgent request is available to SPIEGEL, it is signed by all three parliamentary groups and was unanimously adopted by the SPD parliamentary group on Monday afternoon. The Senate is therefore to engage in talks with the new federal government and thus work towards a ban procedure.
Furthermore, Bremen, in consultation with other federal states, is to initiate a Federal Council initiative in parallel in order to apply for a ban procedure at the Federal Constitutional Court via a majority in the Federal Chamber.
"We do not want to be accused of the fact that it is too late for this at some point," said SPD parliamentary group leader Mustafa Güngör to SPIEGEL. The basis is the classification of the AfD as "protected right-wing extreme" by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. "At the latest, we now know assured that the AfD is threatening our freedom-democratic basic order. Our coalition in Bremen therefore does not let up and continues to push for the initiation of a ban procedure."
The amendment to the preurgent request to the Bremen Parliament Mustafa Güngör and the SPD parliamentary group, Henrike Müller and the parliamentary group Alliance 90/The Greens, as well as Sofia Leonidakis, Nelson Janßen and the parliamentary group Die Linke have signed.
