Germans debate CDU stance amid AfD ban calls

Original: Wenn der Faschismus zurück kehrt, wird er hören "Willkommen zurück mein Freund, hier sind Blumen für dich". # afdverbot

Political debate in Germany over calls to ban the AfD is intensifying, with critics accusing the CDU of enabling far-right politics rather than resisting it. A widely shared German-language comment argues that if fascism returns, it will be welcomed with flowers — implying mainstream conservatism is paving the way. Hashtags like #afdverbot and #merzmussweg show frustration with CDU leader Friedrich Merz and demands to launch ban proceedings against the AfD now.

Why now: Ongoing controversy over whether Germany's mainstream right is adequately confronting the AfD and whether a ban process should begin.
