Allegations of radical behavior - The Office for the Protection of the Constitution monitors AfD parliament members.
An MP from Neu-Ulm has brushed off accusations, calling them political campaigns that should be dismissed. In response to inquiries, Schmid stated, "The continuous attacks from the Constitutional Protection on the AfD are just political campaigns to be rejected."
By law, the Constitutional Protection can only monitor an MP if they utilize their mandate to fight against the basic democratic order or actively and aggressively stand against it. The Interior Ministry believes these conditions are met by Schmid. Schulze, the Green faction leader, said, "The answer from the Interior Ministry to my inquiry demonstrates the significant danger Schmid poses to our democracy."

The AfD, known for its extreme positions, has a significant presence not just in the German Parliament but also in the state of Bavaria, including in Munich. The Identitarian movement, sharing similar extremist views, has been a topic of concern for the authorities. Katharina Schulze, the Green faction leader, has been vocal about the threat these parties pose to the constitution. The Ministry of the Interior in BR, Germany, has been closely monitoring the activities of AfD parliament members due to their potential to undermine the basic democratic order. This has led to allegations of constant attacks on the AfD, which the party's MPs dismiss as political campaigns. The continuous monitoring of such parliament members by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution is a fundamental aspect of safeguarding the protection of the constitution in Germany.
