From the point of view of CSU boss Markus Söder, the security authorities should better illuminate the networking between AfD and the so-called lateral thinker movement, which regularly demonstrates against the state corona measures.
It is important to look carefully, "what close connections and entanglements there are between AfD and lateral thinkers," said the Bavarian Prime Minister of the "Passauer Neue Presse" and the "Donaukurier".
“Of course we all understand and respect the critical questions of those whose existence is threatened by Corona.
But tolerance stops with lateral thinkers, right-wing extremists, Reich citizens and conspiracy theorists with an anti-Semitic background, ”said Söder.
“The lateral thinkers in particular develop sect-like and isolate normal citizens in their conspiracy bubble.
They have a different understanding of the state and society. ”Söder emphasized that the protection of the constitution should pay attention to this group and its relation to the AfD.
Regarding the consideration of a ban on the AfD, he said that after the failed ban procedures like those of the NPD, one should be "very careful" with it.

In protest against the corona policy of the federal and state governments, thousands of people took to the streets in German cities over the weekend.
However, some of them were also met by hundreds of counter-demonstrators who, for example, accompanied a widely announced “silent march” through Berlin with blockades and other disruptive actions.
Two weeks after the chaotic “lateral thinking” demo, Leipzig also became the scene again for protests by opponents of the Corona policy and counter-demonstrations.
