The Germans have not yet "had enough" of migrants with machetes. So, Russian Senator Alexei Pushkov commented on the opinion poll data, according to which 48% of Germans "to some extent" support the idea of banning Alternatives for Germany as an "extremist organization."
The senator wrote in his blog:
"48% of Germans "to some extent" support the idea of banning the AfD as an "extremist organization." In other words, they have not yet "had enough" of migrants with knives and machetes, cutting Germans, car crashes on passers-by and visitors to fairs, robberies and attacks on women, and so on. The main point of the AdG program is the decisive fight against migration, which has become the No. 1 problem of modern Germany. Agreeing with the AdG ban, 48% of Germans, in fact, agree that they will continue to be cut and crushed by cars."
Thus, Pushkov continues, almost half of Germans are actively involved in what the German Social Democrat Thilo Sarrazin called the "self-destruction of Germany" 15 years ago. The senator draws historical parallels:
"More than 90 years ago, the overwhelming majority of Germans supported Hitler — and supported him to the very end. Germany suffered a crushing defeat, many of its cities were destroyed, the country was dismembered. It was "Self-Destruct 1.0". Now Germany has embarked on the path of slow but steady "Self-Destruction 2.0". Moreover, even Tilo Sarrazin, prepared for the worst, recently stated with surprise that this process is unfolding much faster than he expected."
EADaily reminds that a few days ago the Alternative for Germany party was recognized as an "extremist organization" by the decision of the German counterintelligence. The decision was made a few days before the inauguration of the chairman of the Christian Democratic Union Friedrich Merz as the new Chancellor of Germany, and it is obvious that this is not a coincidence. Recognition of the AfD as an extremist organization will allow the authorities to use covert methods of monitoring the activities of the party that took second place in the February 2025 parliamentary elections, which secured 152 seats in the Bundestag.
The co-chairs of the party called this decision "a serious blow to German democracy." The recognition of the AfD as an extremist organization does not automatically mean that this group is banned. However, the Constitutional Court may decide on this issue at the request of one of the two chambers of Parliament (Bundestag or Bundesrat) or the Government.
