Legal Opinion on AfD: Three Million Pieces of Evidence

A comprehensive legal opinion released by the 'Society for Civil Liberties' (Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte) asserts that the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party is "demonstrably unconstitutional." This extensive 1500-page report represents one of the most systematic scientific examinations to date of the party's alignment with constitutional principles.

The Berlin-based Society for Civil Liberties, known for its strategic litigation, commissioned the report. A team of eight authors, led by jurist Bijan Moini, spent 13 months compiling the findings. Their research involved an exhaustive analysis of over 3 million publicly available sources. This vast dataset included official party programs, resolutions passed by party bodies, official documents from state and federal parliaments, and an extensive collection of nearly 2.9 million posts from social media platforms.

Until now, discussions about the AfD's constitutionality have largely been driven by political rhetoric, speculative assumptions, and strong intuitions, with limited systematic academic inquiry. This new legal opinion aims to provide a data-driven, evidence-based assessment. The authors' methodology involved evaluating a wide array of materials to determine whether the AfD's actions and statements align with Germany's Basic Law.

The report's conclusion that the AfD is unconstitutional is based on the detailed analysis of millions of pieces of evidence. The Society for Civil Liberties' findings are expected to fuel further debate and potentially influence future legal or political actions concerning the party.
