Germany's Justice Ministry is working to determine whether there are grounds to ban the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Minister Stephanie Hobig said.
"I am convinced that we must now seriously and methodically examine whether there is a reason for this ban," she told the Neue Osenbrücker Zeitung newspaper and referred to the possibility of defining the AfD's activity as "anti-constitutional."
According to Hobig, she plans to establish a special working group to collect and evaluate relevant materials. "On this basis, a political and legal decision will be made on the ban," she added.
