Debate Over Partial AfD Ban Divides German Politicians

A debate over whether to pursue a partial ban on the AfD is unfolding across Germany. Bavarian politician Söder has dismissed the discussion, while receiving backing from Beckstein. Meanwhile, tensions have escalated within the AfD in North Rhine-Westphalia. In Thuringia, commentators argue both for and against a ban, with some saying a ban would be the wrong path and others calling a ban application correct.
