Was folgt aus der AfD-Entscheidung des Verwaltungsgerichts Köln?

On February 26, 2026, the Cologne Administrative Court issued a preliminary injunction prohibiting the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution from classifying the AfD as “confirmed far-right extremist.” How did the court justify its decision? What are the implications of this for civil service law and gun control laws? How does the ruling affect potential proceedings to ban the AfD and state funding for the Desiderius Erasmus Foundation, which is affiliated with the AfD?

Prof. Dr. Markus Ogorek and Luca Manns from the Intelligence Services Research Center at the University of Cologne will discuss these issues.

An event organized by the Friends of the NS-DOK EL-DE-Haus e.V.
