OVG NRW allows the Office for the Protection of the Constitution to monitor AfD and JA as suspected cases.

The Higher Administrative Court of North Rhine-Westphalia in Münster has confirmed that the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution may monitor the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and its youth organization, the Junge Alternative (JA), as suspected cases. The decision follows the assessment that there are sufficient indications of efforts against the free democratic basic order.

The monitoring, including the public announcement, is based on the Federal Constitution Protection Act and is justified despite the special protection of political parties. The judgments against the AfD and the Junge Alternative are based on detailed examinations of their statements and programmes, which were classified as anti-constitutional.

Reasoning of the Higher Administrative Court on the AfD

In the judgment of the Higher Administrative Court, it was determined that the AfD and the Junge Alternative (JA) undermine the human dignity of certain groups of people and the principle of democracy through their actions and objectives. This finding is based on a thorough evaluation of statements and political objectives of both organizations, which were assessed as discrimination based on origin or faith and as anti-democratic.
