We could not ban NPD, which are literal Nazis. So no chance, Nazis that pretend to be just very conservative, will be banned.
We didn't ban them because they were a tiny minority that didnt get any votes. The AFD is a party of fascists with a chance of disrupting our democracy. I'm sure there is a way.
Not really, we tried really hard but it turned out that to many people involved were "informants" working for Verfassungsschutz. But I also don't really see a point in forbidding a Party that has 20% support, those people won't just change their opinion. They are the actual problem and needed to be reached.
The V Leute issue was a long time ago. The newest attempt to ban NPD was because they were insignificant since most of its voters migrated to AfD or worse
My bad, must have missed that one.
