Schellhammer's Uncompromising Stance: No Collaboration with AfD
Lack of Collaboration with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) Party - Refusal of Collaboration with AfD by Schellhammer
Here's the deal, folks. The Greens in Rhineland-Palatinate are pushing for action following the labeling of the AfD as a clear-cut right-wing extremist by the constitutional protection agency. That's according to Pia Schellhammer, the party's state parliament chairwoman. Schellhammer made it crystal clear that this label gives more support for governments and administrations to take firm action against the right-wing extremists.
Schellhammer's Cry for Action: A Hard No to AfD Collaboration
So, what's her stance? Simple: no collaboration with the AfD, not just in the state parliament, but also in municipal councils and the Bundestag. Demanding a strong shield for democracy, Schellhammer insists that the AfD should be consistently excluded from chairing committees and other representative roles.
And it's not just political seats they're eyeing. Schellhammer's urging municipalities to reconsider renting out spaces to identified enemies of the constitution, which, in this case, would be the AfD.
Carl-Bernhard von Heusinger, the Green faction's parliamentary business manager and interior policy spokesman, chimed in, advocating for an immediate review of the continued employment of AfD members in the state service. According to him, anyone associated with a right-wing extremist party shouldn't be teaching in schools, serving as a police officer, or representing the state in any capacity.
Call to Action: Initiate Ban Procedures Against AfD
Once again, Schellhammer's ringing the alarm bell for expediting ban proceedings against the AfD. The party's been making moves to undermine the liberal-democratic basic order, and Schellhammer's urging all democrats to stand up, speak out, and protect democracy.
