A Brandenburg AfD local politician has been denied entry into the higher police service in Berlin despite initial approval. The Administrative Court in Berlin ruled that there were justified doubts about the applicant's loyalty to the constitution, which was sufficient grounds to reject his appointment. The man had previously worked as a police officer in Berlin from 2011 to 2026 and applied in 2025 for admission to the higher police service, receiving provisional approval. He then resigned from his position in the municipal council and sought urgent legal protection. He stated he did not see,
Einem Brandenburger AfD-Kommunalpolitiker bleibt eine Einstellung in den gehobenen Polizeidienst trotz anfänglicher Zusage vorerst verwehrt. Das Verwaltungsgericht Berlin entschied im Eilverfahren, dass der frühere AfD-Fraktionsvorsitzende in einer Gemeindevertretung nicht zum Beamten für den gehobenen Dienst der Kriminalpolizei in der Hauptstadt ernannt werden muss, wie ein Sprecher mitteilte.
Das Gericht sah begründete Zweifel an der Verfassungstreue des Antragstellers. Diese genügten für eine Ablehnung der Einstellung in den gehobenen Dienst, hieß es in der Begründung. Die Entscheidung des Gerichts im sogenannten Hauptsacheverfahren steht noch aus.
Der Mann war von 2011 bis 2026 als Polizeivollzugsbeamter für das Land Berlin tätig. Er bewarb sich 2025 für die Zulassung zum Studium für den gehobenen Dienst und erhielt eine vorläufige Einstellungszusage. Das Studium sollte am 1. April 2026 beginnen.
Der Polizist legte daraufhin sein Mandat in der Gemeindevertretung nieder und suchte um Eilrechtsschutz nach. Er gab unter anderem an, die Entwicklungen der AfD Brandenburg, die seit 2020 vom Verfassungsschutz als Verdachtsfall geführt und seit 2025 als gesichert rechtsextreme Bestrebung eingestuft wird, nicht in ihrer Tragweite erkannt zu haben. Er betonte laut einem Gerichtssprecher, nicht in überörtliche Parteistrukturen eingebunden gewesen zu sein. Die AfD Brandenburg ist vom Verfassungsschutz 2025 als gesichert rechtsextreme Bestrebung eingestuft worden.
