"German Court Sets Precedent by Banning State Funding for Far-Right Party"

Germany's constitutional court has ruled to exclude the right-wing extremist party Die Heimat from receiving state funding and tax breaks, seen as a model for dealing with the increasing support for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD). The ruling comes after mass protests against the rise of the far right, with over a million Germans participating. While some fear that banning the AfD could galvanize support, others see cutting state funding for the party as a more feasible option.
