Rhineland-Palatinate Parties Seek To Limit AfD Inquiry Power
Political parties in Rhineland-Palatinate are seeking a constitutional amendment to prevent the AfD from establishing investigative committees through its own majority. Other parties express concern that the AfD could misuse these control instruments. The CDU, SPD, and Green parties in the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament intend to change rules regarding the appointment of investigative committees. The proposed amendment would require a higher number of votes to establish a committee. This move aims to prevent the AfD, as the largest opposition party, from forming committees with its own majority.
