Summary

Germany's parliament will debate a proposed ban on the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) for the first time next week.

The proposal cites the AfD's increasing radicalism and historically revisionist statements, such as co-leader Alice Weidel’s claim that Hitler was a communist.

Under Germany's constitution, a party ban requires proof of opposition to constitutional principles.

Critics warn that a ban could portray the AfD as martyrs.

The AfD currently polls in second place at 20% ahead of February elections.

The AfD is currently polling in second place on around 20% ahead of parliamentary elections on February 23.

This sounds bad. Like I know voting is for suckers but let's not make it easy for the neo-nazis to just waltz into power..
