Germans divided over far-right AfD ban DW 10/11/2024
Briefly

In the recent elections, the AfD's extreme positions have aligned with a significant voter base that prioritizes issue-driven policies over accusations of extremism, with 84% indifferent to its right-wing classification.
The challenges to combatting the AfD reflect a political divide, where nearly half of surveyed citizens regard a ban on the party as inappropriate, underscoring the complexity of the situation.
Despite official labels of extremism, many AfD supporters view the party's focus on relevant issues as more important, suggesting a disconnect between mainstream political discourse and grassroots sentiment.
The debates over whether to ban the AfD show deep political divisions, with only SPD and Greens having significant support for the ban, whereas FDP and BSW strongly oppose it.
