The Berlin constitutional court to certify to him, with his controversial Demo Tweet from may 2018, not against the AfD turned and just constitutional values. Because if a mayor in an official capacity to recognize in against demos to a AfD-lift “impressive signs against racism and human enemy propaganda”, had affected the party and its supporters of which at most only on the edge. To interfere in their equal opportunities in political competition is not spent yet.
The verdict is almost to be welcomed without restriction – because it goes against the Right. The party does much to stir up resentment and to denigrate people. She pulls her gains from polarization, and not from the originality of their offer or of their work as the Opposition. Such AfD counter, should Democrats be a concern.

Imagine, Michael Müller, or any other city of the princes, and country leaders have made it now a habit, local Demos and comment against demos, or to recognize in a citizens ‘ initiative as an “impressive character” for any of the constitutional values, while others get the stamp of “incitement and racism”. Of course, indirectly, without explicit reference, but according to time and context, but clearly enough to get it all.
