Suspected of right-wing extremism: Wüst wants constitutional review of the AfD

Following the AfD's electoral success in Saxony-Anhalt, North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister President Hendrik Wüst (CDU) has called for the establishment of a working group involving federal and state authorities to examine the party's constitutional compliance. The goal is not necessarily to initiate a ban but to conduct a thorough and impartial review of the AfD's adherence to the Basic Law. Wüst emphasized the need for careful and professional evaluation before considering any drastic measures such as a prohibition. He warned against hasty decisions regarding a potential ban, stressing that banning a political party should be a last resort to protect the constitution.
