AfD-Verbot geht nicht? Geht sehr wohl.
Während bei uns noch immer debattiert wird, schafft eine #EU-Aufsichtsbehörde Fakten. Die europäische Parteienfamilie #ESN („Europe of sovereign nations“), die von der #AfD gegründet wurde und ein Sammelbecken rechter, Russlandfreundlicher, anti-EU und anti-LGBTQIA- Parteien ist, soll verboten werden, da sie die #Werte der #EU missachtet.
Nur zur Erinnerung: selbst die Rechtsextremen von Marine #LePen|s #Rassemblement National wollten die #AfD nicht in ihrer Fraktion im #EP sitzen haben. Mehr muss man eigentlich nicht wissen.

The thousands of people who work in the European Parliament’s administration are supposed to be non-political, per EU law.
But staffers complain that many of the Parliament’s plum jobs are instead going to people with political connections.
