"Germany's AfD Faces Funding Threat as Massive Protests Challenge Far-Right Agenda"

TL;DR Summary
Germany's right-wing party AfD, classified as right-wing extremist in some states, faces potential loss of state funding due to alleged anti-democratic behavior. The party's popularity has sparked debates in the Bundestag about how to address its actions, including the possibility of banning the party. While banning a party in Germany is difficult, excluding it from state funding may be more feasible. Additionally, there are discussions about revoking individuals' basic rights as a way to combat perceived enemies of the constitution. Despite these debates, experts believe that Germany's democracy is strong enough to defend itself against such threats.
