Jörg Meuthen, March 5, 2021, Constitution Defense

AfD Kompakt, March 5, 2021

The Administrative Court in Cologne has today stopped with immediate effect the observation of the AfD – this decision is not only a victory for us but also for the state of law. Since the Administrative Court has shown that the illegal proceeding of the Constitution Defense against the largest opposition party can be stopped with legal means.

The Constitution Defense is to be tangibly rebuked for turning over highly confidential information to the media. Herr Haldenwang’s officials must now for a second time consider whether they want to continue to let themselves be politically instrumentalized against the largest opposition party in the German Bundestag. For us, it is certain: We will continue to exhaust all legal means so as to proceed against the BfV’s [Federal Office for the Defense of the Constitution] illegal dealings with the AfD. This day has proved that our prospects of success are thereby good.
