German authorities and political actors are intensifying scrutiny and measures against the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party amid concerns over extremism. A German police commissioner has called for the removal of AfD members from police forces. In Bavaria, the Interior Ministry is considering placing the AfD on an extremism registry, which could affect party members seeking civil service positions. The Conference of Interior Ministers has called for a unified strategy on the AfD, establishing a working group to examine the legal implications of classifying the party as "clearly right-wing extremist." Meanwhile, the AfD faction in the Thuringian state parliament has filed a supervisory complaint against the parliamentary director, alleging long-term disregard of their rights in investigative committees. In Rhineland-Palatinate, coalition parties including the CDU, SPD, Greens, and FDP are proposing legislation to withhold salaries from AfD employees. The AfD in Thuringia is leveraging its blocking minority to attempt to unseat the CDU Landtag president, Thadäus König. Despite these developments, the Federal Council has not initiated any formal ban proceedings against the AfD, though the situation remains politically sensitive.
