The Alternative for Germany (AfD) surged to 20.8% voter support in February, emerging as the second-largest party in the Bundestag. This rise enables the party to intensify its provocative tactics against traditional parties and media. AfD leader Alice Weidel employs inflammatory rhetoric, particularly targeting Muslim immigrants, which garners media attention but undermines democratic principles. Experts highlight that the AfD's xenophobic ideology contravenes Germany's constitutionally guaranteed equal rights, leading to warnings of a threat to democracy, particularly through the actions of members like Stefan Moller, suspected to oppose constitutional values.
AfD party leader Alice Weidel's derogatory rhetoric against Muslim immigrants, such as referring to them as 'headscarf girls' and 'knife men,' exemplifies the party's provocative approach.
Constitutional experts warn that the AfD poses a democratic threat due to its xenophobic stance, which undermines the foundational principle of equal treatment for all citizens as mandated by Germany's constitution.
Matthias Goldmann highlights that the AfD's ideology conflicts with Germany's Basic Law, which guarantees human dignity and equal freedoms regardless of gender, race, or faith.
Stefan Moller, a new AfD member, is under scrutiny from the Thuringian Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which has labeled him an 'enemy of the constitution.'
