Germany could ban far-Right politicians from running for office
This will 100% be used to suppress left politicians.
Just ban the fucking AfD already.
In countries where banning parties is a thing, such parties usually have another on the shelf ready to go.
It’s usually the party leader that gets banned and the party can’t re-register or something.
So when the leader gives their thanks goodbye speech they usually mention the new party.
Germany’s law on party bans automatically bans successor organisations.
That is roughly correct, although:
The successor organization would still need its own proceeding where proof needs to be provided that the successor organization is actually successor of a banned party. But that's all that is needed to ban a successor org.
