German Court Rules Far-Right Party Ineligible for State Funding

TL;DR Summary
Germany's constitutional court has approved the withdrawal of public funds from the neo-Nazi Homeland party, potentially paving the way for a similar move against the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). The court cited the Homeland's racist and anti-democratic attitudes as grounds for the decision. The AfD, currently under close surveillance for suspected far-right extremism, faces increasing scrutiny as it gains popularity, with calls for similar funding withdrawal.
