The security of the German Bundestag is one thing.
It should go without saying that former MPs do not enjoy the same privileges as current elected officials.
The other question is once again, after a former AfD deputy (!) and judge (!!) was arrested in the course of investigations into terrorist coup plans: How does the party, which is already under observation, feel about the free-democratic basic order?
It also depends on how it deals with openly extremist statements by its officials and members.
Official comment on the coup plans and arrests has been arid.
Some statements point in the direction of accusations of staging.
Outperformed some people's parties in the east
In any case, it will now be necessary to take a closer look at how the party behaves, a party that has in some cases already surpassed other former people's parties in East Germany and whose leaders have not only attracted attention with a concept of the people that is not covered by the Basic Law.
Memorable, publicly voiced fantasies about the aftermath of a power grab are no less troubling.
There was talk of the unpleasant staff of the Merkel years, which one would remember.
Are there also lists?
Only one party stands on the ground of the constitution, for which the highest value is a matter of course: human dignity.
