Nach Sachsen-Anhalt-Wahl: Wüst für Bund-Länder-Gruppe zur AfD-Prüfung – CSU skeptisch
Hendrik Wüst fordert eine Arbeitsgruppe, um den verfassungsrechtlichen Umgang mit der AfD zu prüfen. Das müsse nicht automatisch zu einem Verbotsverfahren führen, betont er.
In Düsseldorf, NRW Minister-President Hendrik Wüst has called for a Bund-Länder working group to examine the AfD (Alternative for Germany) party's constitutional handling and potential consequences. This inquiry should be result-oriented and must not automatically lead to a ban, according to the CDU politician. "I warn against hasty decisions regarding an AfD ban, as banning a political party can only be the last resort if we want to protect our constitution," Wüst stated to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur.
He explained that the working group should comprise constitutional protection experts, constitutional law scholars, and other professionals from both the federal and state levels. "It is about the overall question of how the state should deal constitutionally with a party that pursues at least unconstitutional aims in some federal states," Wüst said.
Wüst reportedly proposed the idea of a working group during a talk event with economist Maja Göpel in Berlin on Monday evening. He was quoted as saying, "I have said something today that I believe no CDU member has said publicly: that I am in favor of setting up this working group to carry out this work."
