“It looks more like an attempt to exterminate a political opponent”
“Very skeptical” in calls for banning the far -right “Alternative for Germany” (AfD) was said by Chancellor Friedrich Mertz, stressing that the sole responsibility of proving that a party acts against the democratic constitutional order.
“I have always resisted the idea of ​​a Bundestag movement to ban a party. It seems more like an attempt to exterminate a political opponent, “Mr Mertz said in an interview with the Zeit newspaper and criticized the previous government for handling the Federal Protection Service (BFV), which classifies AFD as” AFD “.
“I am not happy with the way this process evolves. The previous government presented a report without any substantial research. The report was also described as “confidential”, “the Chancellor noted.
He even said that he does not know the content himself.
“To be honest, I don’t want to know it, until it is evaluated by the Ministry of the Interior, which can take weeks or even months,” Mr Mertz said, stressing at the same time his “distance” from AfD, “but also from the left”. “In the case of AfD, I also find their behavior repulsive,” he said.
