European Parliament triggers procedure to ban Alternative for Germany’s EU party
• The European Parliament has initiated a formal procedure to ban the "Europe of Sovereign Nations," the EU-level party associated with Germany's far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). • If the process is successful, the group will be stripped of its official status as a European political party, resulting in the immediate loss of EU funding. • The move reflects growing tensions within the EU as officials seek to curb the influence of far-right movements, though some MEPs from other right-wing groups have opposed the decision.
