Germany’s 16 states submitted a petition to the Constitutional Court on Tuesday to ban the far-right National Democratic Party on the grounds that its ideology resembles that of the Nazis. Germany has strict laws on banning political parties and a similar attempt failed a decade ago. The states insist they have enough evidence to prove the National Democratic Party poses a danger to democracy and the rule of law.
