Sky du Mont calls for legal review of AfD ban
German actor Sky du Mont has publicly called for a legal review of a potential ban on the AfD political party. In recent interviews, du Mont described the party as a threat to the foundations of democracy, stating it is ‘not a normal party’ and that it mobilizes against the rule of law.
Du Mont’s comments follow his public support for entertainer Hape Kerkeling, who recently faced significant online hostility after delivering a speech in the Thuringian state parliament. Kerkeling had also advocated for a ban procedure against the AfD, citing the state's responsibility to protect the democratic order.
Du Mont expressed alarm regarding the level of aggression in public discourse, noting that the hateful reactions toward Kerkeling appeared to stem from the middle of society rather than just extremist fringes. He characterized the current social climate as one of increasing coarseness.
