The AfD is a right-wing populist party in Germany. Parts of it are openly extremist, e.g. calling for mass deportations of immigrants, even if they are German citizens.
They are currently polling at >20%.
Some politicians and law experts have said that the AfD should be banned because it presents a danger to democracy.
Because banning a party is a severe interference with foundational freedoms, the hurdles are high and it's not certain the process would be successful.
Resolves N/A if nobody asks the court to ban the AfD.
If a process is ongoing at time of market closing, I will extend the market.
Resolves YES if the AfD is banned in any Bundesland.
Resolves NO if the court rules that the AfD should not be banned, even if they have to make significant changes.
@LudwigBald They should only ask if there's reasonable chance for success, but whether they actually hold back until there is a chance depends on how desperately they want to hurt the AfD.
