Transnational-Resilient Democracy. On the Conditions for Party Ban Proceedings in Interlegal Systems

Contribution

Nils Kohlmeier & Andreas Gutmann

2024

On 13.11.2024, a group of 113 members of the German Bundestag tabled a motion to initiate proceedings to ban the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party. The debate to date has focused on the requirements and prospects of success of a (partial) ban of the party from a constitutional perspective (in particular here and here). The national perspective threatens to distort the view of transnational interlegalities and does not do justice to the state of European integration.
