Last Friday, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV) declared Alternative für Deutschland to be a “confirmed right-wing extremist” organisation. {snip}

As I said on Friday, the 1,100-page report justifying the “extreme right-wing” classification has been withheld from the public and from AfD officials themselves. Some people, however, have received copies of this mysterious and otherwise deeply secret document. These people are journalists like Wolf Wiedmann-Schmidt at Der Spiegel, and they were presumably provided these copies by Interior Ministry staffers so they could write articles like this one, telling us all how right-wing and extreme the AfD are.
As a direct consequence of this transparently orchestrated publicity campaign masquerading as an official “investigation,” we now have to have unceasing constant very concerned discussions across all print and video media about why the AfD are so bad and what we should do about it. Over the weekend every last paper rushed to tell us about new poll showing that 48% of Germans favour banning the party. The Süddeutsche Zeitung has a hefty piece on the front page today telling us all “What makes the AfD so dangerous.” Also today incoming Family Minister Karin Prien (CDU) proposed stripping the AfD of public financing. The aforementioned Kiesewetter is full of ideas about how to harass Bundeswehr soldiers who support the AfD. Prominent state media journalist Georg Restle at Das Erste declared that “enemies of the constitution should not be given a stage,” openly hoping the BfV upgrade might be a way to circumvent neutrality rules and finally banish the AfD from all public broadcasting. Restle’s colleague, Anja Reschke at NDR, just wants to ban the AfD, because “It’s like in a sandbox” where “70% of the kids are playing nicely and then someone comes along and ruins it … At some point you have to say: No, you can’t play anymore.”
The other thing our morally upright guardians of poor border security and expensive unreliable energy really want to do, is deprive everybody who supports the AfD of their jobs. A crazy Korean-German lawyer named Chan-jo Jun, who for some reason is always appearing in the media to say unhinged leftoid things, offers his thoughts on this front to Tagesspiegel:
Jun believes any civil servant who is in the AfD can be fired if he “supports party positions or has at least not sufficiently distanced himself from them.” This should affect “not only AfD members in security agencies or schools,” but literally everyone, including mere “groundskeepers” in the employ of the government. Unfortunately, they can’t automatically fire you just for being in the AfD; they must first establish your specific political crimes. “Liking posts on social media, paying party membership fees or advertising one’s own membership” in the AfD “could … be categorised as supporting an anti-constitutional party” and therefore be grounds for termination.
Jun thinks we’ll finally be able to cleanse our public schools of AfD-affiliated teachers, and also that non-AfD teachers “will now be able to warn their pupils more clearly than before about the party and its far-right associations.” Also civil servants who merely “endorse anti-constitutional AfD positions” can be fired, Jun says. He also thinks that the public sector can “make compliance with the free and democratic order a prerequisite for awarding … contracts.” In this way he hopes that many private companies will begin firing AfD employees to improve their eligibility for government contracts.
Oh, and of course the NGO protest machine is planning to take to the streets again, to demand that the government initiate ban proceedings against AfD:
