Germany's conservative lawmakers are urging caution regarding a recent SPD motion that aims to ban the far-right AfD party. This follows the reclassification of the AfD by the domestic intelligence agency as a "confirmed right-wing extremist" group. The SPD's motion, approved at a congress in Berlin, calls for constitutional bodies to prepare legal grounds for the ban. However, Interior Minister Dobrindt has suggested a more measured response, emphasizing the need for the legal system to address the situation first.
The moment at which domestic intelligence says this is a confirmed right-wing extremist party, there is no more room for tactics.
Decisions made at the SPD party conference are not yet a mandate for the interior minister.
