AfD's 'Remigration Resolution' Triggers Outcry Over Anti-Migrant Policies

The Bavarian AfD's proposal for mass deportations faces widespread criticism from political leaders and civil society groups, with calls for a party ban escalating.

• The Bavarian AfD adopted a 'Remigration Resolution' at its state party conference, advocating for the forced return of migrants deemed to lack integration potential.
• Critics, including the Turkish Community in Bavaria, condemned the resolution as a direct attack on millions of citizens with migration backgrounds and called for an AfD ban to protect democratic values.
• Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann (CSU) labeled the proposal as 'indisputable' and inconsistent with principles of human dignity and order, while the Greens described it as a sign of the party's radicalization.
• The resolution includes plans to prevent asylum seekers from entering Germany and proposes the establishment of extra-European 'protection zones' for refugees, raising legal and ethical concerns.
• Observers and media outlets have linked the resolution to a broader shift within the AfD toward more extreme policies, with influence from figures associated with the party's dissolved far-right 'Flügel' faction.
