Protest for AfD ban announced at SPD federal party conference in Berlin

The campaign Defend Human Dignity – Ban the AfD Now! has announced a protest rally for Saturday, 28 June, during the SPD federal party conference in Berlin (27-29 June). The campaign calls on the party to take a clear stand in favour of banning the AfD and to initiate corresponding motions to initiate a ban procedure in the Bundestag, the Federal Government and the Bundesrat.

"With every state and federal election, the AfD comes closer to its goal of establishing a fascist order in Germany. We don't want to stand by and wait until the AfD comes to power and we end up with conditions like in the USA – or our own history repeats itself. It is time for the SPD to follow up its words with action and speak out unanimously in favour of banning the AfD. The initiation of a ban procedure is long overdue" explains Malte Engeler, press spokesman for the campaign.

After a large number of SPD members of the Bundestag had already voted in favour of initiating a ban in the last Bundestag, party chairman and finance minister Lars Klingbeil, parliamentary group leader Matthias Miersch and the Jusos, among others, have recently spoken out in favour of initiating a ban.

As part of the rally, hundreds of postcards from civil society will be handed over to the delegates to underline the demand for a ban on the AfD. In addition, it is possible to contact members of the Bundestag directly on the campaign website (https://afd-verbot.jetzt/de/abgeordnetentool).

Time and place of the rally:
Saturday, 28 June, starting at 7:30 a.m. | City Cube Berlin Messedamm 26 14055 Berlin
